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

Two-pore domain potassium channels (K(2PD)+) play an important role in setting resting membrane potential by regulating background leakage of potassium ions, which in turn controls neuronal excitability. To determine whether these channels contribute to activity-dependent plasticity following deafness, we used quantitative real-time PCR to examine the expression of 10 K(2PD)+ subunits in the rat cochlear nucleus at 3 days, 3 weeks and 3 months after bilateral cochlear ablation. There was a large sustained decrease in the expression of TASK-5, a subunit that is predominantly expressed in auditory brain stem neurons, and in the TASK-1 subunit which is highly expressed in several types of cochlear nucleus neurons. TWIK-1 and THIK-2 also showed significant decreases in expression that were maintained across all time points. TWIK-2, TREK-1 and TREK-2 showed no significant change in expression at 3 days but showed large decreases at 3 weeks and 3 months following deafness. TRAAK and TASK-3 subunits showed significant decreases at 3 days and 3 weeks following deafness, but these differences were no longer significant at 3 months. Dramatic changes in expression of K(2PD)+ subunits suggest these channels may play a role in deafness-associated changes in the excitability of cochlear nucleus neurons.
