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

Neurons in the chicken nucleus laminaris (NL), the third-order auditory neurons that detect the interaural time differences that enable animals to localize sounds in the horizontal plane, receive glutamatergic excitation from the cochlear nucleus magnocellularis (NM) and GABAergic inhibition from the ipsilateral superior olivary nucleus. Here, we study metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)- and GABAB receptor (GABABR)-mediated modulation of synaptic transmission in NL neurons. Gramicidin-perforated recordings from acute brain stem slice preparations showed that the reversal potential of the GABAergic responses in NL neurons was more depolarized than the spike threshold. Activation of the GABAergic input produced a mix of inhibitory and excitatory actions in NL neurons. The inhibitory action is known to be critical in improving the acuity of temporal processing of sounds. The excitatory action, however, would reduce the phase locking fidelity of NL neurons in response to their excitatory inputs from the NM. We show that activation of presynaptic mGluRs or GABABRs by either exogenous agonists or synaptically released neurotransmitters reduced the GABAergic responses, preventing the excitatory action of GABA while leaving the inhibitory action intact. Unlike most CNS synapses, the glutamatergic transmission in the NL was not modulated by either mGluRs or GABABRs, indicating that fixed (nonmodulatory) excitatory inputs to the NL may be optimal for coincidence detection. This study contributes to our understanding of how selective neuromodulation is achieved to suit a particular function of neuronal circuits in the brain.
