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

Acute ethanol modulates an incredibly diverse number of neurotransmitter receptors and intracellular pathways. Presynaptic modulation by acute ethanol has been identified at some GABAergic synapses; but descriptions of acute ethanol regulation of presynaptic glutamatergic function are sparse. Recent reports suggest that acute ethanol can inhibit glutamatergic synaptic responses arising from recycling vesicles during tetanic stimulation of Stria terminalis inputs onto basolateral amygdala (BLA) principal neurons. This finding gives rise to the hypothesis that acute ethanol may modulate actively priming synaptic vesicles in glutamate synapses. To test this, we used whole cell patch clamp recordings in BLA principal neurons and measured the effects of acute ethanol on asynchronous synaptic transmission. We found Stria teminalis inputs express EGTA-sensitive asynchronous synaptic glutamatergic responses produced from both increased presynaptic activation and experimental elevation of presynaptic calcium using partial substitution of extracellular Na
