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

Na+ currents were observed in acutely-dissociated adult rat olfactory receptor neurons using the whole-cell recording techniques. The threshold for current activation was near -70 mV and currents were fully activated by -10 mV (midpoint: -45 mV). Steady-state inactivation was complete at potentials more positive than -70 mV and half complete at -110 mV (+/- less than 1, n = 8). Complete recovery from inactivation required one second at -100 mV (n = 7). The addition of 10 microM tetrodotoxin or 1 mM Zn2+ to the external solution was required to completely block the current. The current differs from those in amphibian and cultured neonatal rat olfactory neurons in its unusually negative voltage-dependence and slow recovery. Since mammalian olfactory neurons have very high input resistances, physiological resting potentials cannot usually be measured using whole-cell recording techniques. However, predominantly-capacitatively-coupled spikes activated by depolarisation were frequently observed in cell-attached patches. This indicates that the cells were excitable and implies that they must have had resting potentials more negative than -90 mV in order for this current to underlie the action potential.
