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

The neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) induces rhythmic motor patterns (fictive locomotion) of the neonatal rat spinal cord in vitro; this is a useful experimental model to study the generation of a motor programme at exclusively spinal level. Nevertheless, 5-HT slows down the fictive locomotion typically elicited by activation of NMDA glutamate receptors, suggesting a complex action of this monoamine. By means of electrophysiological recordings from multiple ventral roots we demonstrated that the decrease caused by 5-HT in NMDA-induced periodicity was dose-dependent, enhanced after pharmacological blocking of 5-HT2 excitatory receptors, and imitated by pharmacological agonists of the 5-HT1 receptor family. Selective blockers of the 5-HT1A or 5-HT1B/D receptor classes, either alone or in combination, largely (but not completely) attenuated this inhibitory action of 5-HT. It is concluded that the principal inhibitory action of 5-HT on the spinal locomotor network was mediated by certain subtypes of the 5-HT1 receptor class, which tends to oppose the 5-HT2 receptor-mediated excitation of the same network.
