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

Most fast-acting neurotransmitters are rapidly cleared from synaptic regions. This feature isolates synaptic sites, rendering the time course of synaptic responses independent of the number of active synapses. We found an exception at glycinergic synapses on granule cells of the rat dorsal cochlear nucleus. Here the duration of inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) was dependent on the number of presynaptic axons that were stimulated and on the number of vesicles that were released from each axon. Increasing the stimulus number or frequency, or blocking glycine uptake, slowed synaptic decays, whereas a low-affinity competitive antagonist of glycine receptors (GlyRs) accelerated IPSC decay. These effects could be explained by unique features of GlyRs that are activated by pooling of glycine across synapses. Functionally, increasing the number of IPSPs markedly lengthened the period of spike inhibition following the cessation of presynaptic stimulation. Thus, temporal properties of inhibition can be controlled by activity levels in multiple presynaptic cells or by adjusting release probability at individual synapses.
