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

Consistent with the ability of severe alcohol intoxication to impair memory, high concentrations of ethanol (60mM) acutely inhibit long-term potentiation (LTP) in the CA1 region of rat hippocampal slices. To account for this, we hypothesized that local metabolism to acetaldehyde may contribute to the effects of high ethanol on synaptic function. However, sodium azide, a catalase inhibitor, and allyl sulfide, an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), failed to overcome LTP inhibition by 60mM ethanol. In contrast, LTP was successfully induced in the presence of ethanol plus 4-methylpyrazole (4MP), an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, suggesting that local metabolism via alcohol dehydrogenase contributes to synaptic effects. Furthermore, exogenously administered acetaldehyde overcame the effects of 4MP on LTP inhibition mediated by ethanol. These observations indicate that acetaldehyde generated by local metabolism within the hippocampus participates in the synaptic dysfunction associated with severe alcohol intoxication.
