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

Sodium flux plays a pivotal role in neurobiological processes including initiation of action potentials and regulation of neuronal cell excitability. However, unlike the wide range of fluorescent calcium indicators used extensively for cellular studies, the choice of sodium probes remains limited. We have previously demonstrated optode-based nanosensors (OBNs) for detecting sodium ions with advantageous modular properties such as tunable physiological sensing range, full reversibility, and superb selectivity against key physiological interfering ion potassium. (1) Motivated by bridging the gap between the great interest in sodium imaging of neuronal cell activity as an alternative to patch clamp and limited choices of optical sodium indicators, in this Letter we report the application of nanosensors capable of detecting intracellular sodium flux in isolated rat dorsal root ganglion neurons during electrical stimulation using transparent microelectrodes. Taking advantage of the ratiometric detection scheme offered by this fluorescent modular sensing platform, we performed dual color imaging of the sensor to monitor the intracellular sodium currents underlying trains of action potentials in real time. The combination of nanosensors and microelectrodes for monitoring neuronal sodium dynamics is a novel tool for investigating the regulatory role of sodium ions involved during neural activities.
