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

We determined the mechanisms of glutamate and ATP release from murine retinal glial (Müller) cells by pharmacological manipulation of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)- and glutamate-induced inhibition of cellular swelling under hypoosmotic conditions. It has been shown that exogenous glutamate inhibits hypoosmotic swelling of rat Müller cells via the induction of the release of ATP (Uckermann et al. in J Neurosci Res 83:538-550, 53). VEGF was shown to inhibit hypoosmotic swelling of rat Müller cells by inducing the release of glutamate (Wurm et al. in J Neurochem 104:386-399, 55). The swelling-inhibitory effect of VEGF in murine Müller cells was blocked by an inhibitor of vesicular exocytosis, by a modulator of the allosteric site of vesicular glutamate transporters, and by inhibitors of phospholipase C and protein kinase C. The swelling-inhibitory effect of glutamate in murine Müller cells was prevented by inhibitors of connexin hemichannels. The effects of both VEGF and glutamate were blocked by tetrodotoxin and by an inhibitor of T-type voltage-gated calcium channels. Murine Müller cells display connexin-43 immunoreactivity. The data suggest that Müller cells of the murine retina may release glutamate by vesicular exocytosis, whereas ATP is released through connexin hemichannels.
