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 generation of an action potential (AP) is a complex process in excitable cells that involves the temporal opening and closing of several voltage-dependent ion channels within the cell membrane. The shape of an AP can carry information concerning the state of the involved ion channels as well as their relationship to cellular processes. Alteration of these ion channels by the administration of toxins, drugs, and biochemicals can change the AP's shape in a specific way, which can be characteristic for a given compound. Thus, AP shape analysis could be a valuable tool for toxin classification and the measurement of drug effects based on their mechanism of action. In an effort to begin classifying the effect of toxins on the shape of intracellularly recorded APs, patch-clamp experiments were performed on NG108-15 hybrid cells in the presence of veratridine, tetraethylammonium, and quinine. To analyze the effect, the authors generated a computer model of the AP mechanism to determine to what extent each ion channel was affected during compound administration based on the changes in the model parameters. This work is a first step toward establishing a new assay system for toxin detection and identification by AP shape analysis.
