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

backgroundRecurrent spreading depolarizations (SDs) occur in stroke and traumatic brain injury and are considered as a hallmark of injury progression. The complexity of conditions associated with SD in the living brain encouraged researchers to study SD in live brain slice preparations, yet methodological differences among laboratories complicate integrative data interpretation. Here we provide a comparative evaluation of SD evolution in live brain slices, in response to selected SD triggers and in various media, under otherwise standardized experimental conditions.

methodsRat live coronal brain slices (350 μm) were prepared (n = 51). Hypo-osmotic medium (Na

resultsSevere osmotic stress or OGD provoked a spontaneous SD. In contrast with SDs triggered in aCSF, these spontaneous depolarizations were characterized by incomplete repolarization and prolonged duration. Further, cortical SDs under HM or OGD propagated over the entire cortex and occassionally invaded the striatum, while SDs in aCSF covered a significantly smaller cortical area before coming to a halt, and never spread to the striatum. SDs in HM displayed the greatest amplitude and the most rapid propagation velocity. Finally, spontaneous SD in HM and especially under OGD was followed by tissue injury.
