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

In the retina, amacrine cells modulate the transfer of information from bipolar to ganglion cells. The nature of the modulation depends on the synaptic input and the membrane properties of the cells. In the retina of white bass, we identified a class of bistratified, wide-field amacrine cell characterized by immunopositive labelling for GABA and calmodulin. In isolation, the cells presented resting membrane potentials averaging -69 mV although some cells settled at more depolarized values (-30 mV). Injection of depolarizing current pulses induced oscillatory membrane responses. When elicited from depolarized cells, the oscillations were short-lived (< 40 ms). For the most part, the oscillatory potentials of hyperpolarized cells remained unattenuated throughout the depolarizing pulse. The frequency of the oscillations increased logarithmically with mean membrane potential, ranging from 74 to 140 Hz. Cells exhibiting depolarized membrane potentials oscillated at twice that rate. When the membrane potential of these cells was hyperpolarized to -70 mV, the oscillations became unattenuated and slowed. We found the cells expressed voltage-gated sodium, potassium and calcium currents and calcium-dependent potassium currents. We demonstrate that the oscillatory potentials arose as a result of the interplay between calcium and potassium currents. The cells responded to local application of GABA and glycine, both of which modulate the oscillatory potentials. Glutamate and its analogues depolarized the cell and induced oscillatory potentials. Our results indicate that oscillatory responses of a type of wide-field amacrine cell are an intrinsic feature of the cell and not due to circuit properties.
