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

Protein phosphorylation plays a crucial role in regulating the cytoskeletal and membrane proteins at the axon initial segment (AIS). However, our knowledge of AIS-specific kinases and phosphatases is very limited. Here, we report the identification of a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) B55 regulatory subunit enriched at the AIS in mice: Ppp2r2c. Our results demonstrate that PP2A-B55 subunits exhibit substantial heterogeneity in their subcellular localization and function. Notably, the Ppp2r2c subunit is selectively concentrated at the AIS, and this enrichment is driven by its unique structure. Utilizing a microelectrode array system (MEA), we show that Ppp2r2c modulates neuronal activity during in vitro development. With phosphoproteomics, we further reveal that the potassium channel Kv1.2 is one of the downstream targets that link Ppp2r2c activity to neuronal excitability. Together, these data provide a critical entry point for understanding the mechanisms of PP2A-mediated local phospho-regulation at the AIS.
