An estimator for the electrotonic size of neurons independent of charge equalization time constants.
Article in Journal of computational neuroscience. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Electrotonic properties are important aspects of neuronal function but have been difficult to estimate without accurate morphological reconstruction. The complexity of the branching dendritic cables often gives charging curves composed of a very large number of exponential functions, making it difficult to distinguish the time constants that are needed for electrotonic estimates. We describe an estimator P for the electrotonic size of neurons based on simple measures from voltage and current clamp recordings that does not rely on the higher rank exponential components of the response. Our estimator gives a bounded scale for the electrotonic size of the cell and can be used for categorization and comparison when morphology is not available.
