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

backgroundAlcohol alters synaptic transmission in the brain. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (NMDAR), a subtype of glutamate-gated ion channel, is an important synaptic target of alcohol in the brain. We and others have previously identified 4 alcohol-sensitive positions in the third and fourth membrane-associated (M) domains, designated M3

methodsWe performed alanine- and tryptophan-scanning mutagenesis in the GluN2C subunit followed by expression in HEK 293 cells and electrophysiological patch-clamp recording.

resultsAlanine substitution at the M3

conclusionsThe identity and characteristics of alcohol-sensitive positions in the GluN2C subunit differ from those previously reported for GluN2A and GluN2B subunits, despite the high homology among these subunits.
