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

The Copines are a family of evolutionary conserved calcium-binding proteins found in most eukaryotic organisms from protists to humans. They share a unique architecture and contain tandem C2 domains and a Von Willebrand factor type A (VWA) domain. C2 domains in Copines bind calcium, phospholipids, and other proteins and mediate the transient association of these proteins with biological membranes at elevated calcium levels. The VWA domain also binds calcium and is involved in protein-protein interactions. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the sequences, structures, expression, targeting, and function of the entire family of known Copine proteins (Copine 1-9 in mammals) with a particular emphasis on their functional roles in the mammalian brain. Neuronal Copines are implicated in a wide array of processes from cell differentiation to synaptic transmission and plasticity and are also linked to several pathological conditions from cancers to brain diseases. This review provides the most up-to-date insights into the structure and function of Copines, with an emphasis on their role in brain function.
