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

When the synaptic connection between two neurons consists of a small number of release sites, the ability to maintain transmission at high frequencies is limited by vesicle mobilization and by the response of postsynaptic receptors. These two properties were examined at single release sites between granule cells and stellate cells by triggering bursts of quantal events either with alpha-latrotoxin or with high-frequency trains of presynaptic activity. Bursts and evoked responses consisted of tens to hundreds of events with frequencies of up to hundreds per second. This indicates that single release sites can rapidly supply vesicles from a reserve pool to a release-ready pool. In addition, postsynaptic AMPA receptors recover from desensitization with a time constant of approximately 5 ms. Thus, even for synapses composed of a single release site, granule cells can effectively activate stellate cells during sustained high-frequency transmission because of rapid vesicle mobilization and fast recovery of AMPA receptors from desensitization.
