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

This study presents evidence that the MAGUK family of synaptic scaffolding proteins plays an essential, but redundant, role in long-term potentiation (LTP). The action of PSD-95, but not that of SAP102, requires the binding to the transsynaptic adhesion protein ADAM22, which is required for nanocolumn stabilization. Based on these and previous results, we propose a two-step process in the recruitment of AMPARs during LTP. First, AMPARs, via TARPs, bind to exposed PSD-95 in the PSD. This alone is not adequate to enhance synaptic transmission. Second, the AMPAR/TARP/PSD-95 complex is stabilized in the nanocolumn by binding to ADAM22. A second, ADAM22-independent pathway is proposed for SAP102.
