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

Prolonged seizures of status epilepticus (SE) result from failure of mechanisms of seizure termination or activation of mechanisms that sustain seizures. Reduced γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor-mediated synaptic transmission contributes to impairment of seizure termination. However, mechanisms that sustain prolonged seizures are not known. We propose that insertion of GluA1 subunits at the glutamatergic synapses causes potentiation of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic receptor (AMPAR)-mediated neurotransmission, which helps to spread and sustain seizures. The AMPAR-mediated neurotransmission of CA1 pyramidal neurons was increased in animals in SE induced by pilocarpine. The surface membrane expression of GluA1 subunit-containing AMPARs on CA1 pyramidal neurons was also increased. Blockade of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors 10 minutes after the onset of continuous electrographic seizure activity prevented the increase in the surface expression of GluA1 subunits. N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonist MK-801 in conjunction with diazepam also terminated seizures that were refractory to MK-801 or diazepam alone. Future studies using mice lacking the GluA1 subunit expression will provide further insights into the role of GluA1 subunit-containing AMPAR plasticity in sustaining seizures of SE.
