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

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) lead to dramatic changes in the surviving brain tissue. Altered ion concentrations, coupled with changes in the expression of membrane-spanning proteins, create a post-TBI brain state that can lead to further neuronal loss caused by secondary excitotoxicity. Several GABA receptor agonists have been tested in the search for neuroprotection immediately after an injury, with paradoxical results. These drugs not only fail to offer neuroprotection, but can also slow down functional recovery after TBI. Here, using computational modeling, we provide a biophysical hypothesis to explain these observations. We show that the accumulation of intracellular chloride ions caused by a transient upregulation of Na
