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

Single, glutamate activated ionic channel currents were recorded from crayfish muscle in the cell attached mode. Different concentrations of glutamate were present in the patch clamp pipette. Bursts of openings were observed with a concentration dependent number of short gaps per burst. Also the mean burst length was concentration dependent and varied between 0.3 ms (100 microM) and 1.3 ms (20 mM). Even with the highest concentrations of glutamate the channel activations were well separated and the beginning and the end of a burst could be defined. The distributions of open times and of burst lengths could be fitted well with a single exponential component for all studied concentrations of glutamate. The distributions of closed times were composed of two or three exponential components (with possibly more than one channel contributing). The mean burst length was compared with the time constants of decay of synaptic currents (0.8-3.0 ms at 19 degrees C) which were measured either with the same pipette as the single channel currents or with a macro patch technique. An estimation of the glutamate concentration at the receptors during synaptic transmission gave values in the millimolar range. The most simple model of glutamate-receptor interaction contains two binding sites for glutamate but no singly liganded open states. Rate constants were estimated for this model.
