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

backgroundIt is now widely established that dopamine, despite its nature as a slowacting biogenic monoamine, modulates fast neurotransmitters such as GABA. However, the mechanism through which this occurs still needs to be fully elucidated. The dopamine transporter (DAT) is the primary regulator of dopamine homeostasis, controlling extracellular levels of dopamine as well as its storage in vesicles.

methodsHere, we took advantage of the availability of dopamine transporter knockout (DAT

resultsWe found a widespread down-regulation of GABAergic markers in the striatum of DAT

conclusionTaken together, such changes paint a picture showing a compromised integrity of the striatal GABAergic system under conditions of functional hyperdopaminergia, which may be of interest for several disorders of the central nervous system.
