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

Five decades ago, long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission was discovered at entorhinal cortex→dentate gyrus (EC→DG) synapses, but the molecular determinants of EC→DG LTP remain largely unknown. Here, we show that the presynaptic neurexin–ligand cerebellin-4 (Cbln4) is highly expressed in the entorhinal cortex and essential for LTP at EC→DG synapses, but dispensable for basal synaptic transmission at these synapses. Cbln4, when bound to cell-surface neurexins, forms transcellular complexes by interacting with postsynaptic DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) or neogenin-1. DCC and neogenin-1 act as netrin and repulsive guidance molecule-a (RGMa) receptors that mediate axon guidance in the developing brain, but their binding to Cbln4 raised the possibility that they might additionally function in the mature brain as postsynaptic receptors for presynaptic neurexin/Cbln4 complexes, and that as such receptors, DCC or neogenin-1 might mediate EC→DG LTP that depends on Cbln4. Indeed, we observed that neogenin-1, but not DCC, is abundantly expressed in dentate gyrus granule cells, and that postsynaptic neogenin-1 deletions in dentate granule cells blocked EC→DG LTP, but again did not affect basal synaptic transmission similar to the presynaptic Cbln4 deletions. Thus, binding of presynaptic Cbln4 to postsynaptic neogenin-1 renders EC→DG synapses competent for LTP, but is not required for establishing these synapses or for otherwise enabling their function.
