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

Psychiatric and neurological disorders severely compromised patients' quality of life. Despite their urgent needs, the development of diagnostics and therapeutics based on the biological basis has made only little progress. This is due to limited evidence on the biological basis of these disorders in humans. Synapses are fundamental structural units of neurotransmission, and neuropsychiatric disorders are considered as 'synapse diseases'. Thus, a translational approach based on synaptic physiology is important to understand these disorders. Excitatory glutamatergic synapses play principal roles in neuronal functions. Glutamate α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptor (AMPAR) is a fundamental molecule of glutamatergic neurotransmission and therefore is considered to be a promising translational target. Here we review the limitations of current diagnostics and therapeutics of psychiatric disorders and claim the essential need for the promotion of translational medicine based on the synaptic physiology of AMPAR. Further, we introduce our recent translational challenge to tackle these diseases by targeting AMPARs.
