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

Neurons in very low density hippocampal cultures that are physiologically identified as either GABAergic inhibitory or glutamatergic excitatory all contain mRNA for the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthetic enzyme, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), as detected by single cell mRNA amplification and PCR. However, consistent with the physiology, immunocytochemistry revealed that only a subset of the neurons stain for either GAD protein or GABA. A similar fraction hybridize with RNA probes for GAD65 and GAD67. Hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons in slice preparations, which are traditionally thought to be excitatory, also contain mRNA for GAD65 and GAD67. Hippocampal neurons in culture did not contain mRNA for two other neurotransmitter synthesizing enzymes, tyrosine hydroxylase, and choline acetyl transferase. These data suggest that in some neurons, presumably the excitatory neurons, GAD mRNA is selectively regulated at the level of translation. We propose that neurotransmitter phenotype may be posttranscriptionally regulated and neurons may exhibit transient phenotypic plasticity in response to environmental influences.
