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

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the output cells of the retina; they convert synaptic input into spike output that carries visual information to the brain. Synaptic inputs are received, integrated and communicated to the spike initiation zone of the axon by dendrites whose properties are poorly understood. Here simultaneous patch-clamp recording and 2-photon Ca(2+) imaging are used to study voltage- and light-evoked Ca(2+) signals in the dendrites of identified types of mouse RGCs from parallel ON and OFF pathways, which encode the onset and offset of light, respectively. The results show pathway-specific differences in voltage-dependent Ca(2+) signaling. While both ON and OFF cells express high-voltage-activated (HVA) Ca(2+) channels, only OFF RGCs also express low-voltage-activated (LVA) Ca(2+) channels. LVA Ca(2+) channels in OFF cells are deinactivated by hyperpolarization from the resting potential and give rise to rebound excited Ca(2+) spikes at the termination of a step of either hyperpolarizing current or light. This suggests that the differential expression of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels in ON and OFF RGC dendrites contributes to differences in the way the two cell types process visual stimuli.
