The role of negative conductances in neuronal subthreshold properties and synaptic integration.
Review in Biophysical reviews, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Based on passive cable theory, an increase in membrane conductance produces a decrease in the membrane time constant and input resistance. Unlike the classical leak currents, voltage-dependent currents have a nonlinear behavior which can create regions of negative conductance, despite the increase in membrane conductance (permeability). This negative conductance opposes the effects of the passive membrane conductance on the membrane input resistance and time constant, increasing their values and thereby substantially affecting the amplitude and time course of postsynaptic potentials at the voltage range of the negative conductance. This paradoxical effect has been described for three types of voltage-dependent inward currents: persistent sodium currents, L- and T-type calcium currents and ligand-gated glutamatergic N-methyl-D-aspartate currents. In this review, we describe the impact of the creation of a negative conductance region by these currents on neuronal membrane properties and synaptic integration. We also discuss recent contributions of the quasi-active cable approximation, an extension of the passive cable theory that includes voltage-dependent currents, and its effects on neuronal subthreshold properties.
