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

Electrical nerve stimulation serves an expanding list of clinical applications, but it faces persistent challenges in selectively activating bundled nerve fibers. In this study, we investigated electrochemical modulation with an ion-selective membrane (ISM) and whether it, used together with electrical stimulation, may provide an approach for selective control of peripheral nerves. Guided by theoretical transport modeling and direct concentration measurements, we developed an implantable, multimodal ISM cuff capable of simultaneous electrical stimulation and focused Ca2+ depletion. Acutely implanting it on the sciatic nerve of a rat in vivo, we demonstrated that Ca2+ depletion could increase the sensitivity of the nerve to electrical stimulation. Furthermore, we found evidence that the effect of ion modulation would selectively influence functional components of the nerve, allowing selective activation by electrical current. Our results raise possibilities for improving functional selectivity of new and existing bioelectronic therapies, such as vagus nerve stimulation.
