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

Viral infections of the central nervous system are often associated with seizures, and while patients usually recover from the infection and the seizures cease, there is an increased lifetime incidence of epilepsy. These viral infections can result in mesial temporal sclerosis, and, subsequently, a type of epilepsy that is difficult to treat. In previous work, we have shown that Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infections in C57B/6 mice, an animal model of virus-induced epilepsy, results in changes in excitatory currents of CA3 neurons both during the acute infection and two months later, at a time when seizure thresholds are reduced and when spontaneous seizures can occur. The changes in the excitatory system differ at these two time points, suggesting different mechanisms for seizure generation. In the present paper, we examine GABAergic mediated inhibition in CA3 pyramidal cells at these two time points following TMEV infection. We found that amplitudes of sIPSCs and mIPSCs were reduced during the acute infection, but recovered at the two-month time point. These observations are consistent with previous measurements of excitatory currents suggesting different mechanisms of seizure generation during the acute infection and during chronic epilepsy.
