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

Studies were performed on mechanically isolated spinal cord multipolar cells (presumptive motoneurons) from the frog Rana temporaria using patch-clamp methods in the whole-cell configuration. These experiments showed that the amplitudes of transmembrane currents arising in response to simultaneous application of GABA and glycine were smaller than the sums of the amplitudes of the responses of the same neurons to GABA and glycine applied individually. Investigation of the mechanisms of this occlusion showed that superfusion of neurons with glycine solution (0.2 mM) resulted in complete blockade of responses to application of GABA (5 mM) and vice versa. This phenomenon may have resulted from cross-blockade associated with the existence of a single receptor complex sensitive to both GABA and glycine and from the interaction of GABA and glycine receptors.
