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

The present study investigates the possible effects of Hg2+, Pb2+, and Cd2+ on [3H]-glutamate binding. To better understand the role of the thiol-disulfide status on the toxicity of such metals toward glutamatergic neurotransmission, we used three thiol chelating agents, 2,3-dimercaptopropanol (BAL), 2,3-dimercaptopropane 1-sulfonate (DMPS), and meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA). Dithiotreitol (DTT) was tested for its ability to prevent metals-induced inhibition on [3H]-glutamate binding. Hg2+, Pb2+, and Cd2+ showed a concentration-dependent inhibition on [3H]-glutamate binding, and mercury was the most effective inhibitor. BAL did not prevent [3H]-glutamate binding inhibition by Hg2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+. However, DMPS and DMSA prevented the inhibition caused by Cd2+ and Pb2+, but not by Hg2+. DTT did not prevent the inhibition on [3H]-glutamate binding caused by 10 microM Hg2+. In contrast, it was able to partially prevent [3H]-glutamate binding inhibition caused by 40 microM Pb2+ and Cd2+. These results demonstrated that the heavy metals present an inhibitory effect on [3H]-glutamate binding. In addition, BAL was less effective to protect [3H]-glutamate binding inhibition caused by these metals than other chelating agents studied.
