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

Glutamate (GLU) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are the major excitatory (E) and inhibitory (I) neurotransmitters in the brain, respectively. Dysregulation of the E/I ratio is associated with numerous neurological disorders. Enzyme-based microelectrode array biosensors present the potential for improved biocompatibility, localized sample volumes, and much faster sampling rates over existing measurement methods. However, enzymes degrade over time. To overcome the time limitation of permanently implanted microbiosensors, we created a microwire-based biosensor that can be periodically inserted into a permanently implanted cannula. Biosensor coatings were based on our previously developed GLU and reagent-free GABA shank-type biosensor. In addition, the microwire biosensors were in the same geometric plane for the improved acquisition of signals in planar tissue including rodent brain slices, cultured cells, and brain regions with laminar structure. We measured real-time dynamics of GLU and GABA in rat hippocampal slices and observed a significant, nonlinear shift in the E/I ratio from excitatory to inhibitory dominance as electrical stimulation frequency increased from 10 to 140 Hz, suggesting that GABA release is a component of a homeostatic mechanism in the hippocampus to prevent excitotoxic damage. Additionally, we recorded from a freely moving rat over fourteen weeks, inserting fresh biosensors each time, thus demonstrating that the microwire biosensor overcomes the time limitation of permanently implanted biosensors and that the biosensors detect relevant changes in GLU and GABA levels that are consistent with various behaviors.
