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

purposeThe impairment of glutamatergic neurotransmission has been associated with diabetic complications in the central nervous system, such as diabetic retinopathy. Here, we investigated the effect of elevated glucose exposure and diabetes on α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor composition, subunit phosphorylation, and the association of the GluA2 subunit with accessory proteins in the retina.

methodsThe subunit composition of AMPA receptors and the association of the GluA2 subunit with modulatory proteins were evaluated with coimmunoprecipitation in retinal neural cell cultures and in the retina of experimentally induced-diabetic rats. The phosphorylation status of AMPA receptor subunits was evaluated with western blotting.

resultsIn retinal neural cell cultures, elevated glucose did not significantly alter the composition of AMPA receptors, namely, the interactions between the GluA1, GluA2, and GluA4 subunits, but reduced GluA2 association with GRIP1. Moreover, elevated glucose did not cause changes on the level of GluA1 phosphorylated at serine residues 831 and 845. Diabetes induced early transitory changes in the interaction between AMPA receptor subunits GluA1, GluA2, and GluA4. At 8 weeks of diabetes, the content of GluA1 phosphorylated at serine 831 or serine 845 in the retina increased, compared to age-matched controls.

conclusionsTaken together, these results suggest that diabetes induces dynamic changes in AMPA receptor subunit composition, which could affect glutamatergic transmission in the rat retina.
