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

Mossy fiber termini in the hippocampus accumulate Zn(2+), which is released with glutamate from synaptic vesicles upon neural excitation. Understanding the spatiotemporal regulation of mobile Zn(2+) at the synaptic level is challenging owing to the difficulty of visualizing Zn(2+) at individual synapses. Here we describe the use of zinc-responsive fluorescent probes together with two-photon microscopy to image Zn(2+) dynamics mediated by NMDA receptor-dependent long-term potentiation induction at single mossy fiber termini of dentate gyrus neurons in adult mouse hippocampal slices. The membrane-impermeant fluorescent Zn(2+) probe, 6-CO2H-ZAP4, was loaded into presynaptic vesicles in hippocampal mossy fiber termini upon KCl-induced depolarization, which triggers subsequent endocytosis and vesicular restoration. Local tetanic stimulation decreased the Zn(2+) signal observed at individual presynaptic sites, indicating release of the Zn(2+) from vesicles in synaptic potentiation. This synapse-level two-photon Zn(2+) imaging method enables monitoring of presynaptic Zn(2+) dynamics for improving the understanding of physiological roles of mobile Zn(2+) in regular and aberrant neurologic function.
