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

rationaleWe previously reported that the NR2B subunit-selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist Ro 63-1908 produced a marked deficit in response control in the five-choice serial reaction time task (5-CSRTT).

objectivesThe present studies were designed to investigate this further by studying the NR2B NMDA antagonists, ifenprodil, traxoprodil (CP101,606), Ro 25-6981 as well as Ro 63-1908 in this test.

methodsFollowing training in the 5-CSRTT, separate groups of rats were either tested under (1) standard test conditions [5 s inter-trial interval (ITI), 0.5 s stimulus duration, 100 trials], (2) high (3 s ITI) and low (10 s ITI) event rate of stimulus presentation and (3) a 250-trial protocol in aged 2-year-old rats. In a final study, the effects of traxoprodil were investigated in an operant delayed match to position (DMTP) task, a test of working memory, and compared to dizocilpine and Ro 63-1908.

resultsSimilar to Ro 63-1908, both traxoprodil (1-10 mg/kg) and Ro 25-6981 (3--30 mg/kg) increased premature responding but also increased response speed with no error trade-off. Conversely, ifenprodil (1--10 mg/kg) slowed response speed and increased omissions with no effect on premature responding. Tested under a variable ITI, Ro 63--1908 (1 mg/kg) increased premature responding at all ITIs, but this change was proportional to controls. At short ITI (3 s), Ro 63-1908 reliably improved performance both in terms of response speed and accuracy (percent correct). In a 250-trial protocol in aged rats, both Ro 63-1908 (0.1-0.3 mg/kg) and, particularly, traxoprodil (1--3 mg/kg) improved performance-increasing response speed and increasing the number of rewards earned during test. Finally, traxoprodil (1--10 mg/kg) improved accuracy and increased response speed in the DMTP task.

conclusionsThe present studies support the view that selective NR2B NMDA antagonists promote impulsive-type responding in the 5-CSRTT; however, under certain test conditions, drugs of this class-notably traxoprodil-may also improve task performance.
