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

Rundown of ionic gradients is a central feature of white matter anoxic injury; however, little is known about the contribution of anions such as Cl-. We used the in vitro rat optic nerve to study the role of aberrant Cl- transport in anoxia/ischemia. After 30 min of anoxia (NaN3, 2 mm), axonal membrane potential (V(m)) decreased to 42 +/- 11% of control and to 73 +/- 11% in the presence of tetrodotoxin (TTX) (1 microm). TTX + 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2' disulfonic acid disodium salt (500 microm), a broad spectrum anion transport blocker, abolished anoxic depolarization (95 +/- 8%). Inhibition of the K-Cl cotransporter (KCC) (furosemide 100 microm) together with TTX was also more effective than TTX alone (84 +/- 14%). The compound action potential (CAP) area recovered to 26 +/- 6% of control after 1 hr anoxia. KCC blockade (10 microm furosemide) improved outcome (40 +/- 4%), and TTX (100 nm) was even more effective (74 +/- 12%). In contrast, the Cl- channel blocker niflumic acid (50 microm) worsened injury (6 +/- 1%). Coapplication of TTX (100 nm) + furosemide (10 microm) was more effective than either agent alone (91 +/- 9%). Furosemide was also very effective at normalizing the shape of the CAPs. The KCC3a isoform was localized to astrocytes. KCC3 and weaker KCC3a was detected in myelin of larger axons. KCC2 was seen in oligodendrocytes and within axon cylinders. Cl- gradients contribute to resting optic nerve membrane potential, and transporter and channel-mediated Cl- fluxes during anoxia contribute to injury, possibly because of cellular volume changes and disruption of axo-glial integrity, leading to propagation failure and distortion of fiber conduction velocities.
