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

It is the current view that purinergic signaling regulates many physiological functions. Pannexin1 (Panx1), a member of the gap junction family of proteins is an ATP releasing channel that plays important physio-pathological roles in various tissues, including the CNS. Upon binding to purinergic receptors expressed in neural cells, ATP triggers cellular responses including increased cell proliferation, cell morphology changes, release of cytokines, and regulation of neuronal excitability via release of glutamate, GABA and ATP itself. Under pathological conditions such as ischemia, trauma, inflammation, and epilepsy, extracellular ATP concentrations increases drastically but the consequences of this surge is still difficult to characterize due to its rapid metabolism in ADP and adenosine, the latter having inhibitory action on neuronal activity. For seizures, for instance, the excitatory effect of ATP on neuronal activity is mainly related to its action of P2X receptors, while the inhibitory effects are related to activation of P1, adenosine receptors. Here we provide a mini review on the properties of pannexins with a main focus on Panx1 and its involvement in seizure activity. Although there are only few studies implicating Panx1 in seizures, they are illustrative of the dual role that Panx1 has on neuronal excitability.
