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

We tested whether GABAA receptor (R) subunit mRNA levels are homeostatically influenced by short-term exposure to GABA in two adjacent regions of the posterior hypothalamus. mRNA levels for seven GABAAR subunits and GABA-synthesizing enzyme (GAD) were quantified in the perifornical (PF) and dorsomedial (DM) hypothalamus following superfusion of slices for 90 min with a drug-free medium, GABA uptake blocker with or without GABAAR antagonist, gabazine, or GABAAR agonist with tetrodotoxin. Increasing endogenous GABA decreased mRNAs for all seven GABAAR subunits in the PF, and for three also in the DM, region; gabazine antagonized these effects in the PF region only and increased GAD-65 mRNA. Stimulation of GABAARs in the presence of tetrodotoxin decreased mRNA for one GABAAR subunit (beta1). We conclude that, in the PF region where GABA facilitates sleep, increased GABA release may limit GABAAR-mediated inhibition, whereas in the DM region, GABA-induced changes are mainly mediated by non-GABAA receptors.
