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

Retinal bipolar neurons transmit visual information by means of graded synaptic potentials that spread to the synaptic terminal without sodium-dependent action potentials. Although action potentials are not involved, voltage-dependent sodium channels may enhance subthreshold depolarizing potentials in the dendrites and soma of bipolar cells, as they do in other CNS neurons. We report here that voltage-dependent sodium currents are observed in a subset of bipolar neurons from goldfish retina. Single-cell reverse transcriptase-PCR identified four different sodium channel alpha subunits in goldfish bipolar cells, putatively corresponding to the mammalian voltage-gated sodium channels Na(v)1.1, Na(v)1.2, Na(v)1.3, and Na(v)1.6. The amount of sodium current was largest in cells with smaller synaptic terminals, which probably represent cone bipolar cells. Localization of sodium channel immunoreactivity in goldfish retina confirmed the expression of voltage-gated sodium channels in cone bipolar cells of both ON and OFF types. Both immunocytochemical and physiological evidence suggests that the sodium channels are localized to the soma and dendrites where they may play a role in transmission of synaptic signals, particularly in the long, thin dendrites of cone bipolar cells.
