KIF5C deficiency causes abnormal cortical neuronal migration, dendritic branching, and spine morphology in mice.
Article in Pediatric research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
backgroundMalformation of cortical development (MCD) includes a variety of developmental disorders that are common causes of neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy. Most recently, clinical studies found that patients carrying KIF5C mutations present early-onset MCD; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.
methodsKIF5C expression level was examined in mouse primary cortical neurons and human ips-derived forebrain organoids. We studied the cortical neuronal migration, dendritic branching, and dendritic spine growth after knocking down the KIF5C gene by electroporation in vitro and in vivo. Then, we studied the transcriptome differences between the knockdown and control groups through RNA sequencing.
resultsWe observed high KIF5C expression in neurons during the early developmental stage in mice and the human brain. Kif5c deficiency results in disturbed cortical neuronal migration, dendritic, and spine growth. Finally, we found that Kif5c knockdown affected several genes associated with cortical neuronal development in vitro.
conclusionsThese results suggested a critical role for Kif5c in cortical development, providing insights into underlying pathogenic factors of kinesins in MCD. IMPACT: KIF5C mutation-related MCD might be caused by abnormal early cortical neuronal development. Kif5c deficiency led to abnormal cortical neuronal dendritic and spine growth and neuronal migration. Our findings explain how Kif5c deficiency is involved in the aberrant development of cortical neurons and provide a new perspective for the pathology of MCD.
