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

Large-conductance calcium and voltage-activated potassium channels, termed SLO-1 (or BK), are pivotal players in the regulation of cell excitability across the animal phyla. Furthermore, emerging evidence indicates that these channels are key mediators of a number of neuroactive drugs, including the most recent new anthelmintic, the cyclo-octadepsipeptide emodepside. Detailed reviews of the structure, function and pharmacology of BK channels have recently been provided (Salkoff et al. in Nat Rev Neurosci 7:921-931, 2006; Ghatta et al. in Pharmacol Ther 110:103-116, 2006) and therefore these aspects will only briefly be covered here. The purpose of this review is to discuss how SLO-1 channels might function as regulators of neural transmission and network activity. In particular, we focus on the role of SLO-1 in the regulation of Caenorhabditis elegans behaviour and highlight the role of this channel as an effector for pleiotropic actions of neuroactive drugs, including emodepside. On the premise that C. elegans is a 'model nematode' with respect to many aspects of neural function, the intention is that this might inform a broader understanding of the role of these channels in the nematodes and their potential as novel anthelmintic targets.
