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

This study examined whether activation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) could modulate synaptic inhibition of spinal motoneurons in the neonatal rat isolated spinal cord. Recurrent inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) generated by Renshaw cells were evoked via antidromic stimulation of motor axon collaterals and recorded intracellularly from lumbar motoneurons. The selective agonist of group I mGluRs DHPG (5 micromol L-1) depressed the recurrent IPSP, an effect prevented by the selective antagonist AIDA (500 micromol L-1). The depression by DHPG was use-independent and could be partly counteracted by increasing stimulus strength. Paired pulse depression observed at <or=50-ms intervals was blocked by DHPG in an AIDA-sensitive manner. These results suggest that, in the presence of DHPG, smaller recurrent IPSPs can contribute to the excitatory action of mGluR activation on spinal networks, including the generation of synchronous oscillations recorded from motoneurons.
