Atypical plume-like events contribute to glutamate accumulation in metabolic stress conditions.

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.
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
Neural glutamate homeostasis is important for health and disease. Ischemic conditions, like stroke, cause imbalances in glutamate release and uptake due to energy depletion and depolarization. We here used the glutamate sensor SF-iGluSnFR(A184V) to probe how chemical ischemia affects the extracellular glutamate dynamics in slice cultures from mouse cortex. SF-iGluSnFR imaging showed spontaneous glutamate release indicating synchronous network activity, similar to calcium imaging with GCaMP6f. Glutamate imaging further revealed local, atypically large, and long-lasting plume-like release events. Plumes occurred with low frequency, independent of network activity, and persisted in tetrodotoxin (TTX). Blocking glutamate uptake with TFB-TBOA favored plumes, whereas blocking ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) suppressed plumes. During chemical ischemia plumes became more pronounced, overly abundant and contributed to large-scale glutamate accumulation. Similar plumes were previously observed in cortical spreading depression and migraine models, and they may thus be a more general consequence of glutamate uptake dysfunctions in neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.
