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 expression and activity of ionotropic glutamate receptors control signal transduction at the excitatory synapses in the CNS. The NMDAR comprises two obligatory GluN1 subunits and two GluN2 or GluN3 subunits in different combinations. Each GluN subunit consists of four domains: the extracellular amino-terminal and agonist-binding domains, the transmembrane domain, and the intracellular C-terminal domain (CTD). The CTD interaction with various classes of intracellular proteins is critical for trafficking and synaptic localization of NMDARs. Amino acid mutations or the inclusion of premature stop codons in the CTD could contribute to the emergence of neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, we describe the method of preparing primary hippocampal neurons and lentiviral particles expressing GluN subunits that can be used as a model to study cell surface expression and synaptic localization of NMDARs. We also show a simple method of fluorescence immunostaining of eGFP-tagged GluN2 subunits and subsequent microscopy technique and image analysis to study the effects of disease-associated mutations in the CTDs of GluN2A and GluN2B subunits.
