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

GABA(C) receptors are being investigated for their role in many aspects of nervous system function including memory, myopia, pain and sleep. There is evidence for functional GABA(C) receptors in many tissues such as retina, hippocampus, spinal cord, superior colliculus, pituitary and the gut. This review describes a variety of neurochemicals that have been shown to be useful in distinguishing GABA(C) receptors from other receptors for the major inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. Some selective agonists (including (+)-CAMP and 5-methyl-IAA), competitive antagonists (such as TPMPA, (±)-cis-3-ACPBPA and aza-THIP), positive (allopregnanolone) and negative modulators (epipregnanolone, loreclezole) are described. Neurochemicals that may assist in distinguishing between homomeric ρ1 and ρ2 GABA(C) receptors (2-methyl-TACA and cyclothiazide) are also covered. Given their less widespread distribution, lower abundance and relative structural simplicity compared to GABA(A) and GABA(B) receptors, GABA(C) receptors are attractive drug targets.
