New determinants of firing rates and patterns of vasopressinergic magnocellular neurons: predictions using a mathematical model of osmodetection.
Article in Journal of computational neuroscience, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Arginine vasopressin (AVP), one of the most important hormones involved in hydromineral homeostasis, is secreted by hypothalamic magnocellular neurons (MCNs). Here, we implemented two critical parameters for MCN physiology into a Hodgkin-Huxley simulation of the MCN. By incorporating the mechanosensitive channel (MSC) responsible for osmodetection and the synaptic inputs whose frequencies are modulated by changes in ambient osmolality into our model, we were able to develop an improved model with increased physiological relevance and gain new insight into the determinants of the firing patterns of AVP magnocellular neurons. Our results with this MCN model predict that 1) a single MCN is able to display all the firing patterns experimentally observed: silent, irregular, phasic and continuous firing patterns; 2) under conditions of hyperosmolality, burst durations are regulated by the frequency-dependent fatigue of dynorphin secretion; and 3) the transitions between firing patterns are controlled by EPSP and IPSP frequencies (0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 Hz). Moreover, this simulation predicts that EPSPs and IPSPs do not modify the spiking frequency (SF) of phasic firing patterns (0.0034 Hz/Hz [EPSP]; 0.0012 Hz/Hz [IPSP]). Rather, these afferents strongly regulate SF during irregular and continuous firing patterns (0.075 Hz/Hz [EPSP]; 0.027 Hz/Hz [IPSP]). The use of the realistic MCN model developed here allows for an improved understanding of the determinants driving the firing patterns and spiking frequencies of vasopressinergic magnocellular neurons.
