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

Striatum is one of the brain regions that are highly sensitive to transient cerebral ischemia. Most of the striatal neurons die shortly after ischemia but interneurons including large aspiny (LA) neurons survive the same insult. Previous studies have shown that inhibitory synaptic transmission is enhanced in LA neurons after ischemia. The present study is aimed at revealing the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. Immunohistochemical studies and Western blotting were performed to examine the expression of glutamic decarboxylase (GAD), the key enzyme in the synthesis of GABA, in the striatum. GAD65 expression and the number of GAD67-positive cells were increased after ischemia. GAD67-positive cells in the striatum co-expressed GAD65 after ischemia. The increase of GAD67-positive cells did not result from neurogenesis. Double-labeling of GAD67 and SOM indicates that some of the GAD67-positive cells are from the phenotypic shift of pre-existing somatostatin (SOM)-containing GABAergic interneurons after ischemia. Facilitation of inhibitory synaptic transmission by muscimol, a specific GABA(A) receptor agonist, increased the number of survived cells in the striatum after ischemia. Altogether, these data suggest that GAD expression is increased in the striatum after ischemia, which might contribute to the facilitated inhibitory synaptic transmission and the consequent survival of LA neurons.
