Basal conductance of frog olfactory cilia.
Article in Pflugers Archiv : European journal of physiology, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
The conductance of isolated frog olfactory cilia in the absence of odorants and second messengers has been measured. Current flowing through the pipette-membrane seal rather than the ciliary membrane was subtracted. In normal physiological solutions, each cilium has a conductance averaging 92 pS at the neuronal resting potential. This basal conductance allows current to be carried by K+ or Na+ but not by Cl-. In some cases, single channels with a unit conductance of 153 pS were observed. The conductance of the ciliary membrane implies a length constant for electrotonic conduction of about 160 microns. Since the reversal potential of the basal conductance is near the neuronal resting potential, it should help to stabilize the ciliary potential at some cost to stimulus transduction efficiency.
