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

1. The ATP action on spontaneous miniature glycinergic inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs) was investigated in rat substantia gelatinosa (SG) neurons mechanically dissociated from the 2nd layer of the dorsal horn in which their presynaptic glycinergic nerve terminals remained intact. 2. ATP reversibly facilitated the frequency of the mIPSCs in a concentration-dependent manner without affecting their amplitude distribution. The ATP agonist, 2-methylthioATP (2MeSATP), mimicked the ATP action, while another ATP receptor agonist, alphabeta-methylene-ATP (alpha,beta-meATP), had no effect on mIPSCs. 3. The ATP receptor antagonists, suramin (1 x 10-6 M) and pyridoxal-5-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid (PPADS) (1 x 10-5 M), completely blocked the facilitatory effect of ATP on glycine release (102.0 +/- 11.2 % and 99.3 +/- 16.2 %, n = 6, respectively) without altering the current amplitude distributions. 4. N-Ethylmaleimide (NEM), a sulphydryl alkylating agent, suppressed the inhibitory effect of adenosine on mIPSC frequency (111.2 +/- 13. 3 %, n = 4) without altering the current amplitude distribution. However, ATP still facilitated the mIPSC frequency (693.3 +/- 245.2 %, n = 4) even in the presence of NEM. 5. The facilitatory effect of ATP (1 x 10-5 M) on mIPSC frequency was not affected by adding 1 x 10-4 M Cd2+ to normal external solution but was eliminated in a Ca2+-free external solution. 6. These results suggest that ATP enhances glycine release from nerve terminals, presumably resulting in the inhibition of SG neurons which conduct nociceptive signals to the CNS. This presynaptic P2X-type ATP receptor may function to prevent excess excitability in SG neurons, thus preventing an excessive pain signal and/or SG cell death.
