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

PSD-95 is a key scaffolding protein in excitatory synapses, playing a critical role in stabilizing synaptic receptors. Post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination have been shown to regulate PSD-95's localization and stability. Threonine 19 (T19) phosphorylation has emerged as a key phosphorylation site involved in NMDAR-dependent LTD; however, its role in PSD-95 ubiquitination is unknown. This study aims to elucidate the role of T19 phosphorylation in regulating PSD-95 ubiquitination, and whether the peptidyl prolyl isomerase 1 (Pin1), a known phospho-T19 binding protein, modifies this process. Our results support the idea that T19 and S25 phosphorylation positively regulate PSD-95 ubiquitination. Furthermore, we found that the Pin1 binding to S25 lowered the phosphorylation state of T19 and prevented PSD-95 ubiquitination. Finally, whole-cell recordings show that GSK3 overexpression depressed baseline synaptic transmission and partially blocked NMDAR-LTD, and both effects were rescued by Pin1 overexpression. Together, these findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms regulating PSD-95 stability at synapses.
