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

Spinal lamina II (substantia gelatinosa, SG) neurons integrate nociceptive information from the primary afferents and are classified according to electrophysiological (tonic firing, delayed firing, single spike, initial burst, phasic firing, gap firing and reluctant firing) or morphological (islet, central, vertical, radial and unclassified) criteria. T-type calcium (Cav3) channels play an essential role in the central mechanism of pathological pain, but the electrophysiological properties and the cell-type specific distribution of T-type channels in SG neurons have not been fully elucidated. To investigate the electrophysiological and morphological features of T-type channel-expressing or -lacking neurons, voltage- and current-clamp recordings were performed on either transverse or parasagittal spinal cord slices. Recording made in transverse spinal cord slices showed that an inward current (
