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 mammalian retina, somatostatin (SRIF-14) acts through distinct receptor subtypes (sst(1-5)). Among them, sst(2) has been localized to numerous retinal cells, including photoreceptors and rod bipolar cells (RBCs). The specific role of sst(2) in the retina is largely undetermined. In this study, we characterized retinas of mice with targeted deletion of sst(2) (sst(2) KO) and we investigated functions of sst(2) in respect to its possible modulation of glutamate (GLU) release, as measured by HPLC. In contrast with wild-type (WT) mice, sst(2) mRNA and sst(2A) immunoreactivity were no longer detectable in the retina of sst(2) KO mice. In retinal explants of WT mice, SRIF and its analogue octreotide that displays high selectivity for sst(2), similarly reduced the evoked release of GLU without affecting its basal level. In sst(2) KO retinas, SRIF or octreotide did not affect GLU release indicating that they act at sst(2). Unexpectedly, the compound CYN-154806, although introduced as the first potent sst(2) antagonist, reduced the evoked release of GLU with equipotency to SRIF and octreotide. Its inhibitory effect was no longer observed in sst(2) KO retinas, indicating that this substance acts at sst(2) receptors as an agonist. In conclusion, SRIF controls evoked release of GLU through sst(2) receptors and this control may represent part of a mechanism by which SRIF regulates GLU concentration in the retina.
