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

Glutamate-induced rise in the intracellular Ca(2+) level is thought to be a major cause of excitotoxic cell death, but the mechanisms that control the Ca(2+) overload are poorly understood. Using immunocytochemistry, electrophysiology and Ca(2+) imaging, we show that activation of ionotropic glutamate receptors induces a selective internalization of Ca(v)1.3 L-type Ca(2+) channels in salamander retinal neurons. The effect of glutamate on Ca(v)1.3 internalization was blocked in Ca(2+)-free external solution, or by strong buffering of internal Ca(2+) with BAPTA. Downregulation of L-type Ca(2+) channel activity in retinal ganglion cells by glutamate was suppressed by inhibitors of dynamin-dependent endocytosis. Stabilization of F-actin by jasplakinolide significantly reduced the ability of glutamate to induce internalization suggesting it is mediated by Ca(2+)-dependent reorganization of actin cytoskeleton. We showed that the Ca(v)1.3 is the primary L-type Ca(2+) channel contributing to kainate-induced excitotoxic death of amacrine and ganglion cells. Block of Ca(v)1.3 internalization by either dynamin inhibition or F-actin stabilization increased vulnerability of retinal amacrine and ganglion cells to kainate-induced excitotoxicity. Our data show for the first time that Ca(v)1.3 L-type Ca(2+) channels are subject to rapid glutamate-induced internalization, which may serve as a negative feedback mechanism protecting retinal neurons against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity.
