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

Neurons in the avian cochlear nucleus are depolarized by GABAergic synaptic input. We recorded GABAergic synaptic currents using the gramicidin-perforated-patch method and found their reversal potential (V(rev)) to be depolarized relative to spike threshold, which is surprising given that these inputs are inhibitory. Depolarizing IPSPs (dIPSPs) are kept below spike generation threshold by the activation of a dendrotoxin-I-sensitive, voltage-gated K(+) conductance. We show experimentally that the polarity of IPSPs contributes to their efficacy; dIPSPs induce accommodation, the positive shift in spike threshold, and are therefore more strongly inhibitory than conventional, hyperpolarizing IPSPs in the same neurons. A similar inhibitory mechanism has been described in invertebrate sensory fibers and axons of dorsal root ganglion cells and may be a general means of amplifying the strength of inhibition in cases where the size of excitatory conductances greatly exceeds that of inhibitory conductances.
