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

5-HT produces voltage-independent inhibition of the N-, P/Q-, and T-type Ca2+ currents in sensory neurons of Xenopus larvae by acting on 5-HT1A and 5-HT1D receptors. We have explored the underlying mechanisms further and found that the inhibition of high voltage-activated (HVA) currents by 5-HT is mediated by a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein that activates a diffusible second messenger. Although modulation of T-type currents is membrane-delimited, it was not affected by GDP-beta-S (2 mM), GTP-gamma-S (200 microM), 5'-guanylyl-imidodiphosphate tetralithium (200 microM), aluminum fluoride (AlF4-, 100 microM), or pertussis toxin, suggesting that a GTP-insensitive pathway was involved. To investigate the modulation of the T currents further, we synthesized peptides that were derived from conserved cytoplasmic regions of the rat 5-HT1A and 5-HT1D receptors. Although two peptides derived from the third cytoplasmic loop inhibited the HVA currents by activating G-proteins and occluded the modulation of HVA currents by 5-HT, two peptides from the second cytoplasmic loop and the C tail had no effect. None of the four receptor-derived peptides had any effect on the T-type currents. We conclude that 5-HT modulates T-type channels by a membrane-delimited pathway that does not involve G-proteins and is mediated by a functional domain of the receptor that is distinct from that which couples to G-proteins.
