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

Neuroplasticity is a fundamental cellular mechanism underlying learning and memory formation and is primed by the coincidental detection of neurotransmitter release from the presynapse and the subsequent calcium influx upon voltage change in the postsynaptic membrane (Bliss and Collingridge, 1993). Molecular assemblies that achieve these events are N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), which bind the neurotransmitter glutamate and a co-agonist, either glycine or D-serine, and allow Ca
