mGluR-mediated and endocannabinoid-dependent long-term depression in the hilar region of the rat dentate gyrus.
Article in Neuropharmacology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
We report that bath application of the group I mGluR agonist (RS)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) causes acute inhibition of evoked IPSCs recorded from hilar mossy cells, and that significant long-term depression (LTD) of synaptic transmission remains following washout of DHPG. Subsequent experiments using minimal stimulation techniques revealed that expression of both acute and long-term effects of DHPG are restricted to a subset of GABAergic afferents that are also sensitive to depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition (DSI). Experiments with a selective CB1 antagonist and with transgenic animals lacking CB1 receptors indicate that all effects of DHPG, like DSI, depend on activation of CB1 receptors. Further work with selective mGluR antagonists suggests a direct involvement of mGluR1 receptors. Interestingly, we also report that induction of LTD under our experimental conditions does not require prior direct somatic depolarization via the patch pipette and does not appear to depend critically on the level of activity in incoming GABAergic afferents. Collectively, these results represent the first characterization of mGluR-mediated and endocannabinoid-dependent LTD in the hilar region of the dentate gyrus. The dentate gyrus is thus one of relatively few areas where this mechanism has clearly been demonstrated to induce long-term modulation of inhibitory synaptic transmission.
