Modulation of NMDA Receptor Subunits Expression by Concanavalin A.

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.
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
The processes of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunits expression were examined in cortical neurons and rat brain in order to investigate how the concanavalin A (Con A) modulates neuronal cells. Con A modulated the expression of NMDA receptor subunits in cultured cortical cells. Con A augmented the level of intracellular Ca(2+) by α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA). We determined whether activation of AMPA receptors was involved in the regulation of NMDA receptor expression with Con A by blocking the desensitization of AMPA receptors. The results showed that AMPA receptor antagonists suppressed NMDA receptor subunits expression in Con A-treated cortical neuronal cells. PMA elevated the expression of NMDA receptor subunits, while PKC inhibitor and tyrosine kinases inhibitor suppressed the expression of NMDA receptor subunits. Furthermore, it was shown that NMDA receptor subunits expression was modulated in a region-specific manner after the sustained microinfusion of Con A into the cerebroventricle of the rat brain. Collectively, it could be presumed that the AMPA receptor activation was involved in Con A-induced modulation of NMDA receptor subunits expression.
