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

SNAREopathies are neurodevelopmental syndromes arising from de novo mutations in the synaptic machinery. Two variants are SNAP-25 I192N and I192T, which cause early lethality and moderate developmental delay, respectively. Both variants lead to destabilization of the C-terminal end of the SNARE complex and reduced binding to the Munc18-1:VAMP2:syntaxin-1 acceptor complex while reducing spontaneous and evoked synaptic release in autaptic glutamatergic neurons (severity: I192N > I192T). I192N, but not I192T, negatively affects neuronal survival and dendritic branching. I192N is strongly dominant negative in the presence of wild-type SNAP-25, leading to impaired survival and reduced synaptic release. The dominant-negative effect is stronger for spontaneous than for evoked release and mild for sustained release. We consider how release is affected upon random incorporation of variant and wild-type proteins into a ring of SNARE complexes. We suggest that only a subset (approximately three) of the pre-assembled SNAREs (approximately six) mediates evoked release, rendering evoked release less susceptible to variants.
