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

Disinhibition caused by Cl(-) dysregulation is implicated in several neurological disorders. This form of disinhibition, which stems primarily from impaired Cl(-) extrusion through the co-transporter KCC2, is typically identified by a depolarizing shift in GABA reversal potential (E GABA). Here we show, using computer simulations, that intracellular [Cl(-)] exhibits exaggerated fluctuations during transient Cl(-) loads and recovers more slowly to baseline when KCC2 level is even modestly reduced. Using information theory and signal detection theory, we show that increased Cl(-) lability and settling time degrade neural coding. Importantly, these deleterious effects manifest after less KCC2 reduction than needed to produce the gross changes in E GABA required for detection by most experiments, which assess KCC2 function under weak Cl(-) load conditions. By demonstrating the existence and functional consequences of "occult" Cl(-) dysregulation, these results suggest that modest KCC2 hypofunction plays a greater role in neurological disorders than previously believed.
