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

Ubiquitin ligases are important regulators of nervous system development, function and disease. To date, numerous ubiquitin ligases have been discovered that regulate presynaptic biology. Here, we discuss recent findings on presynaptic ubiquitin ligases that include members from the three major ubiquitin ligase classes: RING, RBR and HECT. Several themes emerge based on findings across a range of model systems. A cadre of ubiquitin ligases is required presynaptically to orchestrate development and transmission at synapses. Multiple ubiquitin ligases deploy both enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms, and act as hubs for signalling networks at the synapse. Both excitatory and inhibitory presynaptic terminals are influenced by ligase activity. Finally, there are several neurodevelopmental disorders and neurodegenerative diseases associated with presynaptic ubiquitin ligases. These findings highlight the growing prominence and biomedical relevance of the presynaptic ubiquitin ligase network.
