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

Dopamine and L: -glutamate are important signals which guide the development of functional neural circuits within the striatal complex. Disequilibrium of these neurotransmitter systems is believed to be etiological for the genesis of neurological and psychiatric diseases. Since dopamine plays a crucial role for the early transmitter-regulated differentiation of striatal GABAergic neurons, we emphasized that dopaminergic transmission may also be involved in the fine tuning of intra-striatal glutamate action. In this study, we report that dopamine decreases the expression of the glutamate transporter GLT1 but not GLAST in striatal astrocytes by measuring gene and protein expression. Using glutamate-uptake approaches, we demonstrate an increase in glutamate clearance of externally added glutamate in dopamine-treated cultures compared to controls. Our findings imply that dopamine regulates the availability of L: -glutamate in the developing striatum. It is also suggested that the application of dopaminergic drugs can interfere with ontogenetic processes within the striatal complex.
