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

At the axon terminal of goldfish retinal bipolar cells, GABA(C) receptors have been shown to mediate inhibitory reciprocal synaptic currents. Here, we demonstrate a novel standing GABAergic current mediated exclusively by GABA(C) receptors. Selective inhibition of GAT-1 GABA transporters on amacrine cells increases this tonic current and reveals a specific functional coupling between GAT-1 transporters and GABA(C) receptors. We propose that this GABA(C) receptor-mediated standing current serves to regulate synaptic gain by shunting depolarizing potentials that can produce Ca2+-dependent action potentials at the bipolar cell terminal. Furthermore, we find that the amount of GABA(C) receptor-mediated reciprocal feedback between bipolar cell terminals and amacrine cells is greatly increased when GAT-1 transporters are specifically blocked by NO-711 (1-[2-[[(diphenylmethylene)imino]oxy]ethyl]-1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid hydrochloride). The involvement of GAT-1 transporters in regulating this standing (or tonic) GABA(C) current implicates them in a novel role as major determinants of presynaptic excitability.
