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

Dopamine (DA) transporter (DAT) is dynamically regulated by several protein kinases and the Thr53 phosphorylation of DAT (pT53-DAT) is documented in heterologous cell models and in rat brain. However, the role of endogenous pT53-DAT in living animals has never been addressed. Here we generated and studied the pT53-lacking DAT mouse model (DAT-Ala53) by CRISPR/Cas9 technology. DAT-Ala53 mice showed normal growth, body weight, body temperature, grip strength, and sucrose preference while pT53-DAT was completely absent. However, DAT-Ala53 mice showed hyperlocomotion, pronounced vertical exploratory behavior, and stereotypy in a novel environment compared to wild-type littermates (WT). DAT-Ala53 mice displayed unaltered levels of monoamines, glutamate, and GABA in the striatum compared to WT. There were also no significant differences between DAT-Ala53 mice and WT in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and phospho-TH levels, or in total and surface DAT levels, or in DA-transport kinetic parameters V
