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

Neurexin cell-adhesion molecules regulate synapse development and function by recruiting synaptic components. Here, we uncover a mechanism for presynaptic assembly that precedes neurexin recruitment, mediated by interactions between cytosolic proteins and membrane phospholipids. Developmental imaging in C. elegans reveals that the intracellular active zone protein SYD-1 accumulates at nascent presynapses prior to its binding partner neurexin. Combining molecular dynamics simulations to model intrinsic interactions between SYD-1 and lipid bilayers with biochemical and in vivo validation of these predictions, we find that PIP
