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

Epilepsy remains a prevalent chronic neurological disease that is featured by aberrant, recurrent and hypersynchronous discharge of neurons and poses a great challenge to healthcare systems. Although several therapeutic interventions are successfully utilized for treating epilepsy, they can merely provide symptom relief but cannot exert disease-modifying effect. Therefore, it is of urgent need to explore other potential mechanism to develop a novel approach to delay the epileptic progression. Since approximately 30 years ago, histone deacetylases (HDACs), the versatile epigenetic regulators responsible for gene transcription via binding histones or non-histone substrates, have grabbed considerable attention in drug discovery. There are also substantial evidences supporting that aberrant expressions and/activities of HDAC isoforms are reported in epilepsy and HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) have been successfully utilized for therapeutic purposes in this condition. However, the specific mechanisms underlying the role of HDACs in epileptic progression have not been fully understood. Herein, we reviewed the basic information of HDACs, summarized the recent findings associated with the roles of diverse HDAC subunits in epilepsy and discussed the potential regulatory mechanisms by which HDACs affected the development of epilepsy. Additionally, we also provided a brief discussion on the potential of HDACs as promising therapeutic targets for epilepsy treatment, serving as a valuable reference for basic study and clinical translation in epilepsy field.
