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 effect of group I metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR1 and mGluR5) activation on identified melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons was studied using patch-clamp recording in hypothalamic slices from green fluorescent protein-expressing transgenic mice. S-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG), a selective group I mGluR agonist, depolarized MCH cells and increased spike frequency. The mGluR-mediated depolarization was not blocked with tetrodotoxin but was significantly reduced by replacement of extracellular Na+ with Tris, by Ni2+ or the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger blocker KB-R7943, or with BAPTA in the pipette, consistent with a mechanism based on activation of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. DHPG also decreased potassium currents. DHPG-induced depolarization was reduced by either mGluR1 or mGluR5 antagonists, suggesting involvement of both receptor subtypes. DHPG-induced depolarization desensitized; blockade of mGluR1 prevented the desensitization. Group I mGluR activation enhanced NMDA-evoked currents; this enhancement was remarkably long lasting and could be blocked by protein kinase A or C blockers. DHPG potentiated electrically evoked NMDA receptor-mediated postsynaptic currents, and mGluR5 antagonists blocked this action. Group I mGluRs increased spontaneous EPSCs in MCH neurons, possibly by stimulation of nearby mGluR-expressing hypocretin neurons. We found no tonic activation of mGluRs. However, electrical stimulation produced a slow inward current, which could be blocked by group I mGluR antagonists, suggesting high, but not low, levels of synaptically released glutamate activated mGluRs. Together, group I mGluRs increase MCH neuron activity by multiple presynaptic and postsynaptic mechanisms, suggesting mGluRs may therefore play a role in hypothalamic signaling relating to MCH neuron modulation of food intake and energy metabolism.
