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

In Xenopus oocytes expressing neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAcChoRs), made up of alpha 2 and beta 4 subunits, acetylcholine (AcCho) elicited ionic membrane currents (AcCho currents) that were modulated by serotonergic agents. Both agonists and antagonists specific for various serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5HT) receptor subtypes interacted directly with alpha 2 beta 4 nAcChoRs: 5HT, (+/-)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin, methysergide, spiperone, and ketanserin reversibly reduced the amplitude of AcCho currents and accelerated their decay. The AcCho-current time course decayed with two exponential functions. In the presence of 5HT, the fast time constant of current decay (tau f) was not greatly modified, but the slow time constant (tau s) was reduced. With AcCho and 5HT both at 100 microM, tau s was reduced from 140 s to 85 s. The order of potency for inhibition of AcCho current amplitudes was (+/-)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin > methysergide > spiperone > ketanserin > 5HT. The inhibition was voltage-dependent but the magnitude of the voltage dependence for the different blockers did not correspond to their blocking potency: e.g., the block with spiperone was stronger than with 5HT, but it was less voltage-dependent. Our results suggest that serotonergic agents block neuronal nAcChoRs in a noncompetitive manner, similar to the block of muscle nAcChoR by curare and other substances. These results show that neuronal nAcChoR channels that have been activated by their specific neurotransmitter may be modulated by nonspecific neurotransmitters and their antagonists. These effects may help to better understand brain functions as well as the mode of action of the many serotonergic agents that are used in medical practice.
