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

High-frequency stimulation (HFS) in human neocortical slices induces gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) release via GABA(A) receptor (GABA(A)R) activation. The mechanism of this effect and the localization of these GABA(A)Rs were now studied. Fresh human neocortical slices were subjected to HFS (130 Hz) in the presence of veratridine (3 microM). As measured by high-performance liquid chromatography, only GABA but not glutamate outflow was affected by HFS/veratridine stimulation. The evoked GABA overflow was abolished by tetrodotoxin and furosemide, suggesting an involvement of action potentials and plasmalemmal chloride gradients. Double immunolabeling showed that GABA(A)Rs are localized on soma and dendrites of GABAergic neurons in the human neocortex. Moreover, in support of a terminal localization of GABA(A)Rs, the K+-evoked [3H]-GABA release from synaptosomes was enhanced by the GABA(A)R agonist muscimol (antagonized by GABA(A)R blockers). We conclude that HFS in human brain neocortex leads to a specific increase of GABA release, which is mediated by facilitatory GABA(A) autoreceptors located on soma, dendrites, and axon terminals of GABAergic neurons.
