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

Synaptic adhesion molecules are major organizers of the neuronal network and play a crucial role in the regulation of synapse development and maintenance in the brain. Synaptic adhesion-like molecules (SALMs) and leukocyte common antigen-related receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (LAR-PTPs) are adhesion protein families with established synaptic function. Dysfunction of several synaptic adhesion molecules has been linked to cognitive disorders such as autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia. A recent study of the binding and complex structure of SALM3 and PTPσ using small-angle X-ray scattering revealed a 2:2 complex similar to that observed for the interaction of human SALM5 and PTPδ. However, the molecular structure of the SALM3-PTPσ complex remains to be determined beyond the small-angle X-ray scattering model. Here, the expression, purification, crystallization and initial 6.5 Å resolution structure of the mouse SALM3-PTPσ complex are reported, which further verifies the formation of a 2:2 trans-heterotetrameric complex similar to the crystal structure of human SALM5-PTPδ and validates the architecture of the previously reported small-angle scattering-based solution structure of the SALM3-PTPσ complex. Details of the protein expression and purification, crystal optimization trials, and the initial structure solution and data analysis are provided.
