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

Ketamine is a well-characterized NMDA receptor (NMDAR) antagonist, although the relevance of this pharmacology to its rapid (within hours of administration) antidepressant actions, which depend on mechanisms convergent with strengthening of excitatory synapses, is unclear. Activation of synaptic NMDARs is necessary for the induction of canonical long-term potentiation (LTP) leading to a sustained expression of increased synaptic strength. We tested the hypothesis that induction of rapid antidepressant effects requires NMDAR activation, by using behavioral pharmacology, western blot quantification of hippocampal synaptoneurosomal protein levels, and
