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

Synaptic structural plasticity, the expansion of dendritic spines in response to synaptic stimulation, is essential for experience-dependent plasticity and is driven by branched actin polymerization. The WAVE regulatory complex (WRC) is confined to nanodomains at the postsynaptic membrane where it catalyzes actin polymerization. As the netrin/RGM receptor Neogenin is a critical regulator of the WRC, its nanoscale organization may be an important determinant of WRC nanoarchitecture and function. Using super-resolution microscopy, we reveal that Neogenin is highly organized on the spine membrane at the nanoscale level. We show that Neogenin binding to the WRC promotes co-clustering into nanodomains in response to brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), indicating that nanoclustering occurs in response to synaptic stimulation. Disruption of Neogenin/WRC binding not only prevents BDNF-mediated actin remodeling but also inhibits BDNF-induced calcium signaling. We conclude that the assembly of Neogenin/WRC nanodomains is a prerequisite for BDNF-mediated structural and synaptic plasticity.
