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

1. The effects of the group II metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonists DCG-IV and LY354740 were examined in neurones freshly dissociated from the rat cerebellum and olfactory bulb, using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. 2. Under experimental conditions in which K+ currents would be inward, rapid application of DCG-IV and LY354740 to interneurones expressing the group II mGluRs induced an inward current in a subpopulation of interneurones of the cerebellum, the unipolar brush cells. 3. The currents induced by DCG-IV and LY354740 had the major characteristics of a G protein-coupled inwardly rectifying K+ channel (GIRK) current; namely, rapid activation and deactivation upon agonist application and removal, G protein dependence, strong inward rectification, Cs+ and Ba2+ sensitivity, and K+ selectivity. 4. In Golgi cells of the cerebellum and interneurones of the accessory olfactory bulb, which also express group II mGluRs, LY354740 did not induce GIRK activation but inhibited voltage-gated Ca2+ channel currents. 5. These results demonstrate that, in unipolar brush cells, native group II mGluRs can functionally couple to activation of GIRKs. Thus, the absence of coupling in the majority of CNS neurones examined to date may be due to restricted cellular co-localization or co-expression of the appropriate proteins.
