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

It has been reported that systemic activation of D1 receptors promotes emergence from isoflurane-induced unconsciousness, suggesting that the central dopaminergic system is involved in the process of recovering from general anesthesia. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) contains abundant GABAergic medium spiny neurons (MSNs) expressing the D1 receptor (D1R), which plays a key role in sleep-wake behavior. However, the role of NAc D1 receptors in the process of emergence from general anesthesia has not been identified. Here, using real-time in vivo fiber photometry, we found that neuronal activity in the NAc was markedly disinhibited during recovery from propofol anesthesia. Subsequently, microinjection of a D1R selective agonist (chloro-APB hydrobromide) into the NAc notably reduced the time to emerge from propofol anesthesia with a decrease in δ-band power and an increase in β-band power evident in the cortical electroencephalogram. These effects were prevented by pretreatment with a D1R antagonist (SCH-23390). Whole-cell patch clamp recordings were performed to further explore the cellular mechanism underlying the modulation of D1 receptors on MSNs under propofol anesthesia. Our data primarily demonstrated that propofol increased the frequency and prolonged the decay time of spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents (sIPSCs) and miniature IPSCs (mIPSCs) of MSNs expressing D1 receptors. A D1R agonist attenuated the effect of propofol on the frequency of sIPSCs and mIPSCs, and the effects of the agonist were eliminated by preapplication of SCH-23390. Collectively, these results indicate that modulation of the D1 receptor on the activity of NAc MSNs is vital for emergence from propofol-induced unconsciousness.
