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

Neurons sum their input by spatial and temporal integration. Temporally, presynaptic firing rates are converted to dendritic membrane depolarizations by postsynaptic receptors and ion channels. In several regions of the brain, including higher association areas, the majority of firing rates are low. For rates below 20 Hz, the ionotropic receptors α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor will not produce effective temporal summation. We hypothesized that depolarization mediated by transient receptor potential (TRP) channels activated by metabotropic glutamate receptors would be more effective, owing to their slow kinetics. On the basis of voltage-clamp and current-clamp recordings from a rat slice preparation, we constructed a computational model of the TRP channel and its intracellular activation pathway, including the metabotropic glutamate receptor. We show that synaptic input frequencies down to 3-4 Hz and inputs consisting of as few as three to five pulses can be effectively summed. We further show that the time constant of integration increases with increasing stimulation frequency and duration. We suggest that the temporal summation characteristics of TRP channels may be important at distal dendritic arbors, where spatial summation is limited by the number of concurrently active synapses. It may be particularly important in regions characterized by low and irregular rates.
