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

rationalePost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating psychiatric condition that can emerge following exposure to severe trauma and is frequently accompanied by comorbid psychiatric symptoms, including psychosis. Hallucinations and delusions associated with PTSD are thought to arise from dysregulated mesolimbic dopamine signaling; however, converging evidence indicates dopamine dysfunction is secondary to hippocampal hyperactivity driven by impaired GABAergic transmission. An emerging pharmacological strategy is the use of positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of GABA

objectivesWhether this therapeutic potential reflects α-subunit specificity or broader properties of structurally related PAMs remains unclear. We compared three structurally related GABA

methodsUsing an acute inescapable footshock stress model, which reliably produces increased mesolimbic dopamine activity, we performed in vivo extracellular electrophysiology to record dopamine neuron activity in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) after intra-hippocampal administration of GABA

resultsMP-III-022, a selective α5-GABA

conclusionsThese findings indicate that stereochemical and subunit-selective modulation of GABA
