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

Depolarization of presynaptic terminals that arises from activation of presynaptic ionotropic receptors, or somatic depolarization, can enhance neurotransmitter release; however, the molecular mechanisms mediating this plasticity are not known. Here we investigate the mechanism of this enhancement at the calyx of Held synapse, in which presynaptic glycine receptors depolarize presynaptic terminals, elevate resting calcium levels, and potentiate release. Using knock-out mice of the calcium-sensitive PKC isoforms (PKC(Ca)), we find that enhancement of evoked but not spontaneous synaptic transmission by glycine is mediated primarily by PKC(Ca). Measurements of calcium at the calyx of Held indicate that deficits in synaptic modulation in PKC(Ca) knock-out mice occur downstream of presynaptic calcium increases. Glycine enhances synaptic transmission primarily by increasing the effective size of the pool of readily releasable vesicles. Our results reveal that PKC(Ca) can enhance evoked neurotransmitter release in response to calcium increases caused by small presynaptic depolarizations.
