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

objectiveTo reveal the possible contribution of changes in membrane ion concentration gradients and ion pump activity to axonal conduction/block induced by long-duration electrical stimulation.

methodsA new model for conduction and block of unmyelinated axons based on the classical Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) equations is developed to include changes in Na

resultsThe new model successfully simulates initiation, propagation, and block of action potentials induced by short-duration (multiple milliseconds) stimulations that do not significantly change the ion concentrations in the classical HH model. In addition, the activity-dependent effects such as action potential attenuation and broadening observed in animal studies are also successfully simulated by the new model. Finally, the model successfully simulates axonal block occurring after terminating a long-duration (multiple seconds) direct current (DC) stimulation as observed in recent animal studies and reveals 3 different mechanisms for the post-DC block of axonal conduction.

conclusionIon concentrations and pumps play an important role in post-stimulation effects and activity-dependent effects on axonal conduction/block. The duration of stimulation is a determinant factor because it influences the total charges applied to the axon, which in turn determines the ion concentrations inside and outside the axon. SIGNIFICANCE: Despite recent clinical success of many neurostimulation therapies, the effects of long-duration stimulation on axonal conduction/block are poorly understood. This new model could significantly impact our understanding of the mechanisms underlying different neurostimulation therapies.
