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

The MAST family of serine/threonine kinases has been implicated in a spectrum of human neurodevelopmental disorders. However, little is known about their biological function or regulation. Seeking to fill these gaps in our knowledge, we have identified upstream and downstream partners of MAST1. 14-3-3η, a neuronal 14-3-3 paralog, specifically interacts with MAST1 at two regulatory serines, S90 and S161. p21-activated kinase (PAK), a neuronal regulator of the actin cytoskeleton, phosphorylates MAST1 to regulate its interaction with 14-3-3η. Exploiting mouse models of human Mega-Corpus-Callosum Syndrome (MCC) and whole brain phosphoproteomics, we identify the microtubule-associated protein Tau as a candidate substrate of MAST1. We show that pathogenic MAST1 mutations perturb protein function either through misfolding or attenuation of kinase activity. Our data are consistent with a model in which the MAST kinases couple PAK, a neuronal regulator of the actin cytoskeleton, to microtubule remodeling during the differentiation and specification of cortical neurons.
