AMPA prevents glutamate-induced neurotoxicity and apoptosis in cultured cerebellar granule cell neurons.
Article in Neurotoxicity research, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Exposure of cultured cerebellar neurons to alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) in the presence of aniracetam protects all of the vulnerable neurons against the excitotoxic actions of glutamate acting on N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. The protective effect of AMPA was both time- and concentration-dependent. Aniracetam alone did not protect the neurons against the excitotoxic effects of glutamate. Pretreatment of cerebellar neurons with the AMPA antagonist, 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione blocked the neuroprotective effect mediated by AMPA indicating that the neuroprotective effect is mediated specifically by AMPA receptors. An excitotoxic concentration of glutamate, which killed between 60-80% of granule cell neurons on day 8 in vitro, mediated its toxic effect via a time-dependent apoptotic pathway. Pretreatment of cerebellar granule cell neurons with AMPA (500 microM) completely blocked glutamate-mediated apoptosis. Our results suggest that AMPA receptors may play an important role in neuronal survival.
