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

The emerging field of bioelectricity has revealed numerous new roles for ion channels beyond the nervous system, which can be exploited for applications in regenerative medicine. Developing such biomedical interventions for birth defects, cancer, traumatic injury, and bioengineering first requires knowledge of ion channel targets expressed in tissues of interest. This information can then be used to select combinations of small molecule inhibitors and/or activators that manipulate the bioelectric state. Here, we provide an overview of electroceutical design environment (EDEn), the first bioinformatic platform that facilitates the design of such therapeutic strategies. This database includes information on ion channels and ion pumps, linked to known chemical modulators and their properties. The database also provides information about the expression levels of the ion channels in over 100 tissue types. The graphical interface allows the user to readily identify chemical entities that can alter the electrical properties of target cells and tissues.
