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. Since the brain is not a homogenous organ (i.e. the phospholipid pattern and density of lysosomes may vary in its different regions), in the present study we examined the uptake of psychotropic drugs by vertically cut slices of whole brain, grey (cerebral cortex) and white (corpus callosum, internal capsule) matter of the brain and by neuronal and astroglial cell cultures. 2. Moreover, we assessed the contribution of lysosomal trapping to total drug uptake (total uptake=lysosomal trapping+phospholipid binding) by tissue slices or cells conducting experiments in the presence and absence of 'lysosomal inhibitors', i.e., the lysosomotropic compound ammonium chloride (20 mM) or the Na(+)/H(+)-ionophore monensin (10 microM), which elevated the internal pH of lysosomes. The initial concentration of psychotropic drug in the incubation medium was 5 microM. 3. Both total uptake and lysosomal trapping of the antidepressants investigated (imipramine, amitriptyline, fluoxetine, sertraline) and neuroleptics (promazine, perazine, thioridazine) were higher in the grey matter and neurones than in the white matter and astrocytes, respectively. Lysosomal trapping of the psychotropics occurred mainly in neurones where thioridazine sertraline and perazine showed the highest degree of lysosomotropism. 4. Distribution interactions between antidepressants and neuroleptics took place in neurones via mutual inhibition of lysosomal trapping of drugs. 5. A differential number of neuronal and glial cells in the brain may mask the lysosomal trapping and the distribution interactions of less potent lysosomotropic drugs in vertically cut brain slices. 6. A reduction (via a distribution interaction) in the concentration of psychotropics in lysosomes (depot), which leads to an increase in their level in membranes and tissue fluids, may intensify the pharmacological action of the combined drugs.
