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

Currently, commercial devices for electrical neural stimulations can only provide fixed stimulation paradigms with preset constant parameters, while the development of new stimulation paradigms with time-varying parameters has emerged as one of the important research directions for expanding clinical applications. To facilitate the performance of electrical stimulation paradigms with time-varying parameters in animal experiments, the present study developed a well-integrated stimulation system to output various pulse sequences by designing a LabVIEW software to control a general data acquisition card and an electrical stimulus isolator. The system was able to generate pulse sequences with inter-pulse-intervals (IPI) randomly varying in real time with specific distributions such as uniform distribution, normal distribution, gamma distribution and Poisson distribution. It was also able to generate pulse sequences with arbitrary time-varying IPIs. In addition, the pulse parameters, including pulse amplitude, pulse width, interphase delay of biphasic pulse and duration of pulse sequence, were adjustable. The results of performance tests of the stimulation system showed that the errors of the parameters of pulse sequences output by the system were all less than 1%. By utilizing the stimulation system, pulse sequences with IPI randomly varying in the range of 5~10 ms were generated and applied in rat hippocampal regions for animal experiments. The experimental results showed that, even with a same mean pulse frequency of ~130 Hz, for neuronal populations, the excitatory effect of stimulations with randomly varying IPIs was significantly greater than the effect of stimulations with fixed IPIs. In conclusion, the stimulation system designed here may provide a useful tool for the researches and the development of new paradigms of neural electrical stimulations.
