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

Neuronal presynaptic terminals contain hundreds of neurotransmitter-filled synaptic vesicles (SVs). The morphologically uniform SVs differ in their release competence segregating into functional pools that differentially contribute to neurotransmission. The presynaptic scaffold bassoon is required for neurotransmission, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are unknown. We report that glutamatergic synapses lacking bassoon feature decreased SV release competence and increased resting pool of SVs as assessed by imaging of SV release in cultured neurons. CDK5/calcineurin and cAMP/PKA presynaptic signalling are dysregulated, resulting in an aberrant phosphorylation of their downstream effectors synapsin1 and SNAP25, well-known regulators of SV release competence. An acute pharmacological restoration of physiological CDK5 and cAMP/PKA activity fully normalises the SV pools in neurons lacking bassoon. Finally, we demonstrate that CDK5-dependent regulation of PDE4 activity interacts with cAMP/PKA signalling and thereby controls SV release competence. These data reveal that bassoon organises SV pools in glutamatergic synapses via regulation of presynaptic phosphorylation and cAMP homeostasis and indicate a role of CDK5/PDE4/cAMP axis in the control of neurotransmitter release.
