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

An open question in neuroscience is how protein posttranslational modifications regulate synaptic site targeting. Polyubiquitination plays a role in proteasome-mediated protein turnover; however, additional functions for specific types of polyubiquitin linkages have been identified. One type of polyubiquitination, K63-polyubiquitin (K63-polyUb), has been studied for its role in signal transduction within the context of cancer, but little has been done to uncover its role regarding neuronal and synaptic function. Here, we report an emerging function for the cytosolic PSD-95 interactor, cypin, in the regulation of synaptic content by K63-polyUb during neuronal development in vitro and in adult mice in vivo. We identify cypin-promoted K63-polyUb on postsynaptic proteins and also find an important role for cypin in presynaptic function. Our work demonstrates that cypin-promoted changes to K63-polyUb can regulate synaptic content and function on both sides of the synapse, adding important insight into basic mechanisms of neuronal signaling.
