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

Mutations in SCN1A (encoding the neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel alpha1 subunit, Na(V)1.1, or SCN1A) are associated with genetic epilepsy syndromes including generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) and severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy. Here, we present the formulation and use of a computational model for SCN1A to elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying the increased persistent sodium current exhibited by the GEFS+ mutant R1648H. Our model accurately reproduces all experimentally measured SCN1A whole-cell biophysical properties including biphasic whole-cell current decay, channel activation, and entry into and recovery from fast and slow inactivation. The model predicts that SCN1A open-state inactivation results from a two-step process that can be conceptualized as initial gate closure, followed by recruitment of a mechanism ("latch") to stabilize the inactivated state. Selective impairment of the second latching step results in an increase in whole-cell persistent current similar to that observed for the GEFS+ mutant R1648H. These results provide a deeper level of understanding of mutant SCN1A dysfunction in an inherited epilepsy syndrome, which will enable more precise computational studies of abnormal neuronal activity in epilepsy and may help guide new targeted therapeutic strategies.
