Neuronal distress induced by low extracellular sodium in vitro is partially reverted by the return to normal sodium.

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
backgroundHyponatremia is associated with negative clinical outcomes even when chronic and mild. It is also known that hyponatremia treatment should be appropriately performed, to avoid dramatic consequences possibly leading to death. We have previously demonstrated that chronically low extracellular [Na(+)], independently of reduced osmolality, is associated with signs of neuronal cell distress, possibly involving oxidative stress.
aimThe aim of the present study was to assess whether the return to normal extracellular [Na(+)] is able to revert neuronal cell damage.
methodsAfter exposing SH-SY5Y and SK-N-AS cells to low [Na(+)] and returning to normal [Na(+)], we analyzed cell viability by MTS assay, ROS accumulation by FASCan and expression of anti-apoptotic genes.
resultsWe found that the viability of cells was restored upon return to normal [Na(+)]. However, when more subtle signs of cell distress were assessed, such as the expression level of the anti-apoptotic genes Bcl-2 and DHCR24 or of the heme oxygenase 1 gene, a complete return to basal values was not observed, in particular in SK-N-AS, even when [Na(+)] was gradually increased. We also demonstrated that the amount of ROS significantly increased in low [Na(+)], thus confirming that oxidative stress appears to contribute to the effects of low [Na(+)] on cell homeostasis.
conclusionsOverall, this study provided the first demonstration that the correction of chronically low extracellular [Na(+)] may not be able to revert all the cell alterations associated with reduced [Na(+)]. These results suggest that prompt hyponatremia treatment might prevent possible residual abnormalities.
