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 investigated the role of endogenous protein kinase activity on synaptic transmission in the rat nucleus accumbens slice. The isoquinolinesulfonamide H-7 (50muM), a non-selective serine/threonine protein kinase inhibitor, had no effect on pharmacologically isolated glutamatergic EPSCs. However, it reduced GABA release in a dose-dependent manner. This effect of H-7 was not mimicked by the selective cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor H-89, the PKC inhibitor Bisindolylmaleimide-1, or the cGMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor KT5823. However, bath application of the myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) inhibitor, ML-7, significantly reduced IPSC amplitudes and partially occluded the reduction in IPSCs observed following bath application of H-7. These results suggest that endogenous protein kinase activity, specifically MLCK activity, regulates GABA, but not glutamate release, onto medium spiny neurons in the nucleus accumbens.
