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

Experiments on hippocampal slices have recorded that a novel pattern of epileptic seizures with alternating excitatory and inhibitory activities in the CA1 region can be induced by an elevated potassium ion (K(+)) concentration in the extracellular space between neurons and astrocytes (ECS-NA). To explore the intrinsic effects of the factors (such as glial K(+) uptake, Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, the K(+) concentration of the bath solution, and K(+) lateral diffusion) influencing K(+) concentration in the ECS-NA on the epileptic seizures recorded in previous experiments, we present a coupled model composed of excitatory and inhibitory neurons and glia in the CA1 region. Bifurcation diagrams showing the glial K(+) uptake strength with either the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase pump strength or the bath solution K(+) concentration are obtained for neural epileptic seizures. The K(+) lateral diffusion leads to epileptic seizure in neurons only when the synaptic conductance values of the excitatory and inhibitory neurons are within an appropriate range. Finally, we propose an energy factor to measure the metabolic demand during neuron firing, and the results show that different energy demands for the normal discharges and the pathological epileptic seizures of the coupled neurons.
