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

The authors evaluated a role of glutamate (GLU) excitotoxicity in neonatal Borna disease virus (BDV) infection-associated neuronal injury by measuring extracellular levels of GLU in the striatum of 70-day-old Fischer344 rats using in vivo microdialysis. The effects of BDV infection on the protein levels of the GLU transporters and the cystine-GLU antiporter and on the total numbers of striatal neurons and the volume of the striatum were also assessed. BDV increased the basal levels of GLU but did not change those of aspartate, glutamine, or taurine. BDV infection did not alter the effects of a blockade of GLU transporters but attenuated the effects of an inhibition of the cystine-GLU antiporter, without affecting the protein levels of the GLU transporters. The elevated levels of GLU were associated with decreased neuronal numbers and volume in the striatum. The present data are the first in vivo evidence that GLU excitotoxicity might contribute to BDV-associated neuronal injury in the striatum.
