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

Dorsal vagal neurones (DVN) receive serotonergic projections from the medullary raphé nuclei, suggesting that 5-HT modulates vagal activity. A previous study has shown that 5-HT excites DVN in part by inhibition of a K+ current via postsynaptic 5-HT2A receptors. As mRNA for the two-pore-domain K+ channels TASK-1 (KCNK3) and TASK-3 (KCNK9) has been found in DVN, we investigated the possibility that 5-HT exerts its effects via inhibition of these K+ channels using whole-cell patch-clamp techniques. In current clamp, 5-HT (20 microM) elicited a depolarization by 5.1+/-1.5 mV and an increase in firing rate. In voltage clamp, 5-HT reduced the standing outward current (ISO) at -20 mV by 106+/-17 pA, inhibiting a conductance (reversal, -95+/-4 mV) which displayed Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz outward rectification, supportive of a TASK-like K+ current. Since TASK channels are modulated by extracellular pH (pHo), we next investigated the pH sensitivity of ISO in Hepes-buffered ACSF. At pHo 7.3, DVN exhibited an ISO of 147+/-15 pA at -20 mV. Acidification to pHo 6.3 reduced ISO to 85+/-13 pA, whereas raising pHo to 8.5 increased ISO to 216+/-26 pA. At pHo 7.3, ISO was inhibited by BaCl2 (IC50 465 microM), but unaffected by ZnCl2 (100 microM). 5-HT (10 microM) reduced ISO by 114+/-17 pA at pHo 7.3, but at pHo 6.3 the 5-HT-induced inhibition of ISO was significantly smaller. The present data suggest that the excitatory effects of 5-HT on DVN are mediated in part by inhibition of a TASK-like, pH-sensitive K+ conductance. The pharmacological profile of this conductance excludes TASK-3 homomers, but rather implicates TASK-1-containing channels.
