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

d-Serine plays an important role in modulating N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) neurotransmission in the mammalian brain by binding to the receptor's glycine modulatory site (GMS). The cytosolic enzyme serine racemase (SR) converts L-serine to d-serine, while the peroxisomal enzyme d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) catalyzes the breakdown of d-serine. Although it is important to understand how the activities of SR and DAAO regulate d-serine levels, very little is known about the mechanisms that regulate the expression of SR and DAAO. In this study, we investigated whether the different centrally active drugs affect the expression of SR and DAAO in adult mouse brain. We found that the NMDAR antagonist, MK801, and cocaine, psychotropic drugs that both augment glutamate release, reduce the expression of SR and DAAO. This regulation is brain region selective, and in the case of cocaine, is reversed in part byα-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) antagonist 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo[f]quinoxaline-2,3-dione (NBQX). However, d-serine and antipsychotics do not regulate SR and DAAO protein levels. In a genetic model of SR disruption, we found that DAAO expression was unaltered in SR conditional knockout mice, in which tissue d-serine content remains fairly stable despite marked reduction in SR expression. This study reveals a new mechanism by which AMPAR activity could regulate NMDAR function via d-serine availability.
