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

In addition to being the universal cellular energy source, ATP is the primary reservoir for the neuromodulator adenosine. Consequently, adenosine is produced during ATP-depleting conditions, such as epileptic seizures, during which adenosine acts as an anticonvulsant to terminate seizure activity and raise the threshold for subsequent seizures. These actions protect neurones from excessive ionic fluxes and hence preserve the remaining cellular content of ATP. We have investigated the consequences of manipulation of intracellular ATP levels on adenosine release and epileptiform activity in hippocampal slices by pre-incubating slices (3 h) with creatine (1 mM) and the combination of ribose (1 mM) and adenine (50 μM; RibAde). Creatine buffers and protects the concentration of cellular ATP, whereas RibAde restores the reduced cellular ATP in brain slices to near physiological levels. Using electrophysiological recordings and microelectrode biosensors for adenosine, we find that, while having no effect on basal synaptic transmission or paired-pulse facilitation, pre-incubation with creatine reduced adenosine release during Mg
