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 signals from retinal bipolar cells were monitored by measuring EPSCs in ganglion cells voltage-clamped at -70 mV. Spontaneous EPSCs were strongly suppressed by l-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate (AP-4), an agonist at group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). Agonists of group I or II mGluRs were ineffective. AP-4 also suppressed ganglion cell EPSCs evoked by bipolar cell stimulation using potassium puffs, sucrose puffs, or zaps of current (0.5-1 microA). In addition, AP-4 suppressed Off EPSCs evoked by dim-light stimuli. This indicates that group III mGluRs mediate a direct suppression of bipolar cell transmitter release. An mGluR antagonist, (RS)-alpha-cyclopropyl-4-phosphonophenylyglycine (CPPG), blocked the action of AP-4. When bipolar cells were weakly stimulated, AP-4 produced a large suppression of the EPSC, but CPPG alone had little effect. Conversely, when bipolar cells were strongly stimulated, CPPG produced an enhancement of the EPSC, but AP-4 alone had little effect. This indicates that endogenous feedback regulates bipolar cell transmitter release and that the dynamic range of the presynaptic metabotropic autoreceptor is similar to that of the postsynaptic ionotropic receptor. Furthermore, the feedback is rapid and intensity-dependent. Hence, concomitant activation of presynaptic and postsynaptic glutamate receptors shapes the responses of ganglion cells.
