Deep brain stimulation suppresses epileptic seizures in rats via inhibition of adenosine kinase and activation of adenosine A1 receptors.
Article in CNS neuroscience & therapeutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
aimsDeep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus, is an effective therapy for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, yet, its mechanism of action remains elusive. Adenosine kinase (ADK), a key negative regulator of adenosine, is a potential modulator of epileptogenesis. DBS has been shown to increase adenosine levels, which may suppress seizures via A1 receptors (A
methodsControl group, SE (status epilepticus) group, SE-DBS group, and SE-sham-DBS group were included in this study. One week after a pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus, rats in the SE-DBS group were treated with DBS for 4 weeks. The rats were monitored by video-EEG. ADK and A
resultsCompared with the SE group and SE-sham-DBS group, DBS could reduce the frequency of spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRS) and the number of interictal epileptic discharges. The DPCPX, an A
conclusionThe findings indicate that DBS can reduce SRS in epileptic rats via inhibition of ADK and activation of A
