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

Introduction: The inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR), a mediator of fast synaptic inhibition, is located and held at neuronal synapses through the anchoring proteins gephyrin and collybistin. Stable localization of neurotransmitter receptors is essential for synaptic function. In case of GlyRs, only beta subunits were known until now to mediate synaptic anchoring. Objectives: We identified a poly-proline II helix (PPII) in position 365-373 of the intra-cellular TM3-4 loop of the human GlyRα1 subunit as a novel potential synaptic anchoring site. The potential role of the PPII helix as synaptic anchoring site was tested. Methods: Glycine receptors and collybistin variants were generated and recombinantly expressed in HEK293 cells and cultured neurons. Receptor function was assessed using patch-clamp electrophysiology, protein-protein interaction was studied using co-immuno-precipitation and pulldown experiments. Results: Recombinantly expressed collybistin bound to isolated GlyRα1 TM3-4 loops in GST-pulldown assays. When the five proline residues P365A, P366A, P367A, P369A, P373A (GlyRα1 Conclusion: Our data suggest a novel interaction between α1 GlyR subunits and collybistin, which is physiologically relevant in vitro and in vivo and may contribute to postsynaptic anchoring of glycine receptors.
