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 properties of voltage-gated ion channels on the neuronal membrane shape electrical activity such as generation and backpropagation of action potentials, initiation of dendritic spikes, and integration of synaptic inputs. Subthreshold currents mediated by sodium channels are of interest because of their activation near rest, slow inactivation kinetics, and consequent effects on excitability. Modulation of these currents can also perturb physiological responses of a neuron that might underlie pathological states such as epilepsy. Using nucleated patches from the peri-somatic region of hippocampal CA1 neurons, we recorded a slowly inactivating component of the macroscopic Na(+) current (which we have called INaS) that shared many biophysical properties with the persistent Na(+) current, INaP, but showed distinctively faster inactivating kinetics. Ramp voltage commands with a velocity of 400 mV/s were found to elicit this component of Na(+) current reliably. INaS also showed a more hyperpolarized I-V relationship and slower inactivation than those of the fast transient Na(+) current (INaT) recorded in the same patches. The peak amplitude of INaS was proportional to the peak amplitude of INaT but was much smaller in amplitude. Hexanol, riluzole, and ranolazine, known Na(+) channel blockers, were tested to compare their effects on both INaS and INaT. The peak conductance of INaS was preferentially blocked by hexanol and riluzole, but the shift of half-inactivation voltage (V1/2) was only observed in the presence of riluzole. Current-clamp measurements with hexanol suggested that INaS was involved in generation of an action potential and in upregulation of neuronal excitability.
