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.
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
Most in vitro studies of D1 dopaminergic modulation of excitability in neostriatal medium spiny neurons have revealed inhibitory effects. Yet studies made in more intact preparations have shown that D1 receptors can enhance or inhibit the responses to excitatory stimuli. One explanation for these differences is that the effects of D1 receptors on excitability are dependent on changes in the membrane potential occurring in response to cortical inputs that are seen only in intact preparations. To test this hypothesis, we obtained voltage recordings from medium spiny neurons in slices and examined the impact of D1 receptor stimulation at depolarized and hyperpolarized membrane potentials. As previously reported, evoked discharge was inhibited by D1 agonists when holding at negative membrane potentials (approximately -80 mV). However, at more depolarized potentials (approximately -55 mV), D1 agonists enhanced evoked activity. At these potentials, D1 agonists or cAMP analogs prolonged or induced slow subthreshold depolarizations and increased the duration of barium- or TEA-induced Ca2+-dependent action potentials. Both effects were blocked by L-type Ca2+ channel antagonists (nicardipine, calciseptine) and were occluded by the L-type channel agonist BayK 8644-arguing that the D1 receptor-mediated effects on evoked activity at depolarized membrane potential were mediated by enhancement of L-type Ca2+ currents. These results reconcile previous in vitro and in vivo studies by showing that D1 dopamine receptor activation can either inhibit or enhance evoked activity, depending on the level of membrane depolarization.
