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 studied the kinetics of transmitter release during trains of action potential (AP)-evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) at the calyx of Held synapse of juvenile rats. Using a new quantitative method based on a combination of ensemble fluctuation analysis and deconvolution, we were able to analyse mean quantal size (q) and release rate (xi) continuously in a time-resolved manner. Estimates derived this way agreed well with values of q and quantal content (M) calculated for each EPSC within the train from ensemble means of peak amplitudes and their variances. Separate analysis of synchronous and asynchronous quantal release during long stimulus trains (200 ms, 100 Hz) revealed that the latter component was highly variable among different synapses but it was unequivocally identified in 18 out of 37 synapses analysed. Peak rates of asynchronous release ranged from 0.2 to 15.2 vesicles ms(-1) (ves ms(-1)) with a mean of 2.3 +/- 0.6 ves ms(-1). On average, asynchronous release accounted for less than 14% of the total number of about 3670 +/- 350 vesicles released during 200 ms trains. Following such trains, asynchronous release decayed with several time constants, the fastest one being in the order of 15 ms. The short duration of asynchronous release at the calyx of Held synapse may aid in generating brief postsynaptic depolarizations, avoiding temporal summation and preserving action potential timing during high frequency bursts.
