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

The GABA transporters GAT-1 and GAT-3 are abundant in the external and internal segments of the globus pallidus (GPe and GPi, respectively). We have shown that pharmacological blockade of either of these transporters results in decreased neuronal firing, and in elevated levels of extracellular GABA in normal monkeys. We now studied whether the electrophysiologic and biochemical effects of local intra-pallidal injections of GAT-1 and GAT-3 blockers, or the subcellular localization of these transporters, are altered in monkeys rendered parkinsonian by the administration of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). The subcellular localization of the transporters in GPe and GPi, studied with electron microscopy immunoperoxidase, was similar to that found in normal animals: i.e., GAT-3 immunoreactivity was mostly confined to glial processes, while GAT-1 labeling was expressed in unmyelinated axons and glial processes. A combined injection/recording device was used to record the extracellular activity of single neurons in GPe and GPi, before, during and after administration of small volumes (1microl) of either the GAT-1 inhibitor, SKF-89976A hydrochloride (720ng), or the GAT-3 inhibitor, (S)-SNAP-5114 (500ng). In GPe, the effects of GAT-1 or GAT-3 blockade were similar to those seen in normal monkeys. However, unlike the findings in the normal state, the firing of most neurons was not affected by blockade of either transporter in GPi. These results suggest that, after dopaminergic depletion, the functions of GABA transporters are altered in GPi; without major changes in their subcellular localization.
