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

Accumulating evidence suggests that the side effects of celecoxib, widely used to treat muscle and joint pain, may be mediated in part through cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) independent mechanisms, such as inhibition of ion channels. In this study we report effects of celecoxib on ionic currents and neuronal activity in isolated rat retinal neurons. We found that celecoxib suppressed voltage-gated potassium currents in retinal bipolar cells with an effective concentration to inhibit 50% of function (EC(50)) of 5.5 microM. In retinal amacrine and ganglion cells, celecoxib inhibited voltage-dependent sodium channels with an EC(50) of 5.2 microM, and voltage-dependent transient and sustained potassium currents with EC(50)s of 16.3 and 9.1 microM, respectively. Notably, the rate of spontaneous spike activity was dramatically suppressed in ganglion and amacrine cells with an EC(50) of 0.76 microM. All actions of celecoxib on ionic currents and action potentials occurred from the extracellular side and were completely reversible. These findings indicate that inhibition of ion channels by celecoxib in the CNS may affect neuronal function at clinically relevant concentrations.
