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 electrical signals of neurons are fundamentally dependent on voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs), which are responsible for the rising phase of the action potential. An array of naturally occurring and synthetic neurotoxins have been identified that modify the gating properties of VGSCs. Using murine neocortical neurons in primary culture, we have compared the ability of VGSC gating modifiers to evoke Na+ influx. Intracellular sodium concentration ([Na+](i)) was monitored using the Na+-sensitive fluorescent dye, sodium-binding benzofuran isophthalate. All sodium channel gating modifier compounds tested produced a rapid and concentration-dependent elevation in neuronal [Na+](i). The increment in [Na+](i) exceeded 40 mM at high concentrations of brevetoxins, batrachotoxin, and the novel lipopeptide, antillatoxin. The maximal increments in neuronal [Na+](i) produced by neurotoxin site 2 alkaloids, veratridine and aconitine, and the pyrethroid deltamethrin were somewhat lower with maximal [Na+](i) increments of less than 40 mM. The rank order of efficacy of sodium channel gating modifiers was brevetoxin (PbTx)-1 > PbTx-desoxydioxolane > batrachotoxin > antillatoxin > PbTx-2 = PbTx-3 > PbTx-3alpha-naphthoate > veratridine > deltamethrin > aconitine > gambierol. These data demonstrate that the ability of sodium channel gating modifiers to act as partial agonists is shared by compounds acting at both neurotoxin sites 2 and 5. The concentration-dependent increases in [Na+](i) produced by PbTx-2, antillatoxin, veratridine, deltamethrin, aconitine, and gambierol were all abrogated by tetrodotoxin, indicating that VGSCs represent the sole pathway of Na+ entry after exposure to gating modifier neurotoxins.
