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. At striatal inhibitory synapses in cell culture, replacement of extracellular Ca2+ with Sr2+ desynchronized inhibitory postynaptic currents (IPSCs), reducing their peak amplitude and producing a succession of late, asynchronous synaptic events (late release). In the averaged IPSC waveform this resulted in an increase in both the fast and the slow decay time constant as well as in the time to peak. 2. Rapid removal of extracellular Sr2+ during late release was without effect on the time course of the averaged IPSC. Thus, late release is not dependent on continuous Sr2+ influx, but must be related to the way in which Sr2+, as opposed to Ca2+, interacts with constituents of the intracellular space. 3. After application of the membrane-permeant acetoxymethyl ester (AM) form of the Ca2+-chelator BAPTA, Sr2+-induced late release was greatly reduced and the kinetics of the Sr2+-dependent IPSC approached those of the Ca2+-dependent response. EGTA AM had a similar but less pronounced effect. 4. Using rapid solution exchange, we stimulated synapses first in Sr2+- or Ca2+- and 100-300 ms afterwards in Ca2+-containing solution. Paired-pulse facilitation of late release was the same whether the conditioning pulse induced a presynaptic influx of Sr2+ or of Ca2+. 5. It is concluded that Sr2+-mediated asynchrony is probably due to a less efficient intraterminal buffering of Sr2+ as opposed to Ca2+, allowing for Sr2+ ions to activate release in an area less confined to the immediate vicinity of the presynaptic Ca2+ channel. This hypothesis explains both the action of endogenous buffers and the apparent lack of specific facilitatory interaction between Ca2+-mediated and Sr2+-induced late release.
