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

Short-term homosynaptic depression and heterosynaptic facilitation of transmitter release from mechanoreceptor sensory neurons of Aplysia are involved in habituation and sensitization, respectively, of defensive withdrawal reflexes. We investigated whether synaptic transmission is regulated in these forms of plasticity by means of changes in the size of the pool of transmitter available for immediate release [the readily releasable pool (RRP)] or in the efficacy of release from an unchanging pool. Using sensorimotor synapses formed in cell culture, we estimated the number of transmitter quanta in the RRP from the asynchronous release of neurotransmitter caused by application of a hypertonic bathing solution. Our experiments indicate that the transmitter released by action potentials and by hypertonic solution comes from the same pool. The RRP was reduced after homosynaptic depression of the EPSP by low-frequency stimulation and increased after facilitation of the EPSP by application of the endogenous facilitatory transmitter serotonin (5-HT) after homosynaptic depression. However, although the fractional changes in the RRP and in the EPSP were similar for both synaptic depression and facilitation when depression was induced by repeated hypertonic stimulation, the changes in the EPSP were significantly greater than the changes in the RRP when depression was induced by repeated electrical stimulation. These observations indicate that homosynaptic depression and restoration of depressed transmission by 5-HT are caused by changes in both the amount of transmitter available for immediate release and in processes involved in the coupling of the action potential to transmitter release.
