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

Dyrk1A deficiency is linked to various neurodevelopmental disorders, including developmental delays, intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Haploinsufficiency of Dyrk1a in mice reportedly leads to ASD-related phenotypes. However, the key pathological mechanisms remain unclear and human DYRK1A mutations remain uncharacterized in mice. Here, we generated and studied Dyrk1a-knockin mice carrying a human ASD patient mutation (Ile48LysfsX2; Dyrk1a-I48K mice). These mice display severe microcephaly, social and cognitive deficits, dendritic shrinkage, excitatory synaptic deficits, and altered phospho-proteomic patterns enriched for multiple signaling pathways and synaptic proteins. Early chronic lithium treatment of newborn mutant mice rescues the brain volume, behavior, dendritic, synaptic, and signaling/synapse phospho-proteomic phenotypes at juvenile and adult stages. These results suggest that signaling/synaptic alterations contribute to the phenotypic alterations seen in Dyrk1a-I48K mice, and that early correction of these alterations by lithium treatment has long-lasting effects in preventing juvenile and adult-stage phenotypes.
