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

Neuronal oscillations in the hippocampus are critical for many brain functions including learning and memory. The underlying mechanism of oscillation generation has been extensively investigated in terms of chemical synapses and ion channels. Recently, electrical synapses have also been indicated to play important roles, as reported in various brain areas in vivo and in brain slices. However, this issue remains to be further clarified, including in hippocampal networks. Here, using the completely isolated hippocampus, we investigated in vitro the effect of electrical synapses on slow CA1 oscillations (0.5 Hz-1.5 Hz) generated intrinsically by the hippocampus. We found that these oscillations were totally abolished by bath application of a general blocker of gap junctions (carbenoxolone) or a specific blocker of electrical synapses (mefloquine), as determined by whole-cell recordings in both CA1 pyramidal cells and fast-spiking cells. Our findings indicate that electrical synapses are required for the hippocampal generation of slow CA1 oscillations.
