1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Reduced synaptodendritic complexity appears to be a key feature in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated neurological disorder (HAND). Viral proteins, and in particular the envelope protein gp120, play a role in the pathology of synapses. Gp120 has been shown to increase both in vitro and in vivo the proneurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which promotes synaptic simplification through the activation of the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR). To provide evidence that p75NTR plays a role in gp120-mediated loss of synapses in vivo, we intercrossed gp120tg mice with p75NTR null mice and used molecular, histological and behavioral analyses to establish a link between p75NTR and gp120-mediated synaptic simplification. Synaptosomes obtained from the striatum of gp120tg mice exhibited a significant increase in p75NTR levels concomitantly to a decrease in synaptic markers such as TrkB and PSD95. Analysis of striatal dendritic spines by Golgi staining revealed that gp120tg mice display a reduced proportion of mushroom-type spines in addition to fewer spines overall, when compared to wild type or gp120tg lacking one or two p75NTR alleles. Moreover, removal of one p75NTR allele in gp120 transgenic mice abolished the gp120-driven impairment on a task of striatal-dependent motor learning. These data indicate that p75NTR could be a key player in HIV-mediated synaptic simplification in the striatum.
