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 role of the cytoskeleton in the activity of GABA(A) receptors was investigated in cultured hippocampal neurons. Receptor currents were measured with the whole-cell patch-clamp technique during repetitive stimulation with 1 microm muscimol. After destruction of the microtubular system with nocodazol, muscimol-induced currents showed a rundown by 78%. A similar rundown was observed when actin fibers were destroyed with latrunculin B or C2 toxin of Clostridium botulinum. Because the small GTPases of the Rho family RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42 are known to control the organization of actin fibers, we investigated their possible involvement. Inactivation of the GTPases with clostridial toxins, as well as intracellular application of recombinant Rho GTPases, indicated that active Rac1 was necessary for full GABA(A) receptor activity. Immunocytochemical labeling of the receptors showed that the disappearance of receptor clusters in the somatic membrane as induced by muscimol stimulation was enhanced by Rac1 inactivation. It is suggested that Rac1 participates in the regulation of GABA(A) receptor clustering and/or recycling.
