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

Palmitoylation is a type of lipid modification that plays an important role in various aspects of neuronal function. Over the past few decades, several studies have shown that the palmitoylation of synaptic proteins is involved in neurotransmission and synaptic functions. Palmitoyl acyltransferases (PATs), which belong to the DHHC family, are major players in the regulation of palmitoylation. Dysregulated palmitoylation of synaptic proteins and mutated/dysregulated DHHC proteins are associated with several neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Huntington's disease (HD), and Parkinson's disease (PD). In this review, we summarize the recent discoveries on the subcellular distribution of DHHC proteins and analyze their expression patterns in different brain cells. In particular, this review discusses how palmitoylation of synaptic proteins regulates synaptic vesicle exocytotic fusion and the localization, clustering, and transport of several postsynaptic receptors, as well as the role of palmitoylation of other proteins in regulating synaptic proteins. Additionally, some of the specific known associations of these factors with neurodegenerative disorders are explored, with a few suggestions for the development of therapeutic strategies. Finally, this review provides possible directions for future research to reveal detailed and specific mechanisms underlying the roles of synaptic protein palmitoylation.
