Blocking Kv1.3 potassium channels prevents postoperative neuroinflammation and cognitive decline without impairing wound healing in mice.
Article in British journal of anaesthesia, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
backgroundPostoperative cognitive decline (PCD) requires microglial activation. Voltage-gated Kv1.3 potassium channels are involved in microglial activation. We determined the role of Kv1.3 in PCD and the efficacy and safety of inhibiting Kv1.3 with phenoxyalkoxypsoralen-1 (PAP-1) in preventing PCD in a mouse model.
methodsAfter institutional approval, we assessed whether Kv1.3-deficient mice (Kv1.3
resultsFreezing behaviour was unaltered in postoperative Kv1.3
conclusionsMicroglial-mediated PCD requires Kv1.3 activity, determined by genetic and pharmacological targeting approaches. Phenoxyalkoxypsoralen-1 blockade of Kv1.3 prevented surgery-induced hippocampal microglial activation and neuroinflammation in mice known to be vulnerable to PCD. Regarding perioperative safety, these beneficial effects of PAP-1 treatment occurred without impacting fracture healing. Kv1.3 blockers, currently undergoing clinical trials for other conditions, may represent an effective and safe intervention to prevent PCD.
