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

backgroundEpilepsy represents one of the most common brain diseases among humans. Tissue acidosis is a common phenomenon in epileptogenic foci. Moreover, its role in epileptogenesis remains unclear. Acid-sensing ion channel-1a (ASIC1a) represents a potential way to assess new therapies. ASIC1a, mainly expressed in the mammalian brain, is a type of protein-gated cation channel. It has been shown to play an important role in the pathological mechanism of various diseases, including stroke, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis.

methodsData were collected from Web of Science, Medline, PubMed, through searching for these keywords: "Acid-sensing ion channels 1a" or "ASIC1a" and "epilepsy" or "seizure".

resultsThe role of ASIC1a in epilepsy remains controversial; it may represent a promising therapeutic target of epilepsy.

conclusionThis review is intended to provide an overview of the structure, trafficking, and molecular mechanisms of ASIC1a in order to elucidate the role of ASIC1a in epilepsy further.
