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

Channelrhodopsin-2 ectopically expressed in the retina can recover the response to blue light in genetically blind mice and rats, but is unable to restore visual function due to optic nerve or optic tract lesions. Long Evans rats at postnatal day 1 were used for primary culture of visual cortical cells, and 24 hours later, cells were transfected with recombinant adenovirus carrying channelrhodopsin-2 and green fluorescent protein genes. After 2-4 days of transfection, green fluorescence was visible in the cultured cells. Cells were stimulated with blue light (470 nm), and light-induced action potentials were recorded in patch-clamp experiments. Our findings indicate that channelrhodopsin-2-recombinant adenovirus transfection of primary cultured visual cortical cells can control the production of action potentials via blue light stimulation.
