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

The membrane potential changes following action potentials in thin unmyelinated cortical axons with en passant boutons may be important for synaptic release and conduction abilities of such axons. In the lack of intra-axonal recording techniques we have used extracellular excitability testing as an indirect measure of the after-potentials. We recorded from individual CA3 soma in hippocampal slices and activated the axon with a range of stimulus intensities. When conditioning and test stimuli were given to the same site the excitability changes were partly masked by local effects of the stimulating electrode at intervals < 5 ms. Therefore, we elicited the conditioning action potential from one axonal branch and tested the excitability of another branch. We found that a single action potential reduced the axonal excitability for 15 ms followed by an increased excitability for approximately 200 ms at 24 degrees C. Using field recordings of axonal action potentials we show that raising the temperature to 34 degrees C reduced the magnitude and duration of the initial depression. However, the duration of the increased excitability was very similar (time constant 135 +/- 20 ms) at 24 and 34 degrees C, and with 2.0 and 0.5 mM Ca2+ in the bath. At stimulus rates > 1 Hz, a condition that activates a hyperpolarization-activated current (Ih) in these axons, the decay was faster than at lower stimulation rates. This effect was reduced by the Ih blocker ZD7288. These data suggest that the decay time course of the action potential-induced hyperexcitability is determined by the membrane time constant.
