GluN3A subunit tunes NMDA receptor synaptic trafficking and content during postnatal brain development.

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
Signaling via N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) is critical for the maturation of glutamatergic synapses, partly through a developmental switch from immature synapses expressing primarily GluN2B- and GluN3A-containing subtypes to GluN2A-rich mature ones. This subunit switch is thought to underlie the synaptic stabilization of NMDARs necessary for neural network consolidation. However, the cellular mechanisms controlling the NMDAR exchange remain unclear. Using a combination of single-molecule and confocal imaging and biochemical and electrophysiological approaches, we show that surface GluN3A-NMDARs form a highly diffusive receptor pool that is loosely anchored to synapses. Remarkably, changes in GluN3A subunit expression selectively alter the surface diffusion and synaptic anchoring of GluN2A- but not GluN2B-NMDARs, possibly through altered interactions with cell surface receptors. The effects of GluN3A on NMDAR surface diffusion are restricted to an early time window of postnatal development in rodents, allowing GluN3A subunits to control the timing of NMDAR signaling maturation and neuronal network refinements.
