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

Gene therapy has been employed as a therapeutic approach for intractable focal epilepsies. Considering the potential of focal GABAergic neuromodulation in regulating epileptogenesis, the GABA-producing enzyme, γ-aminobutyric acid decarboxylase 67 (GAD67), is highly suitable for epilepsy therapy. The EL/Suz (EL) mouse is a model of multifactorial temporal lobe epilepsy. In the present study, we examined focal gene transduction in epileptic EL mice using recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 8 (rAAV8) expressing human GAD67 to enhance GABA-mediated neural inhibition. Eight-week-old mice were bilaterally injected with rAAV8-GFP or rAAV8-GAD67 in the hippocampal CA3 region. After four weeks, the GAD67-transduced EL mice, but not the rAAV-GFP-treated EL mice, exhibited a significant reduction in seizure generation. The GAD67-mediated depression became stable after 14 weeks. The excitability of the CA3 region was markedly reduced in the GAD67-transduced EL mice, consistent with the results of the Ca
