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 most widely used optogenetic tool, Channelrhodopsin2 (ChR2), is both light- and voltage-sensitive. A light-triggered action potential or light-driven perturbations of ongoing electrical activity provide instant voltage feedback, shaping ChR2 current. Therefore, depending on the cell type and the light pulse duration, the typically reported voltage-clamp-measured ChR2 current traces are often not a good surrogate for the ChR2 current during optically-triggered action potentials. We discuss two experimental methods to reveal ChR2 current during an action potential: an "optical AP clamp" and its approximation employing measured current-voltage curve for ChR2. The methods are applicable to voltage- and light-sensitive ion currents operating in excitable cells, e.g. cardiomyocytes or neurons.
