Electrophysiological data showing the acute alcohol effect on neuronal excitability in the murine posterior parietal cortex.

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
It is well established that alcohol interacts with multiple molecular targets, including ligand- and voltage-gated ion channels and intracellular signal proteins, leading to molecular and cellular neuroadaptations in various brain regions, including the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, and cerebellum [[1], [2], [3]]. Despite the extensive literature, little is known about the effects of alcohol in the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), a cortical region involved in multiple cognitive and executive functions [4,5]. Here, we report data showing the acute alcohol effects on neuronal excitability in pyramidal neurons and interneurons expressed in PPC. Briefly, whole-cell patch clamp recordings in current clamp mode were conducted in coronal brain slices containing PPC. Resting membrane potential, input resistance, action potential (AP) threshold, and frequency were assessed during baseline, following 10 minutes of bath application of alcohol 50 mM, and after 10 minutes of washout. The data show that alcohol negatively modulates the excitability of PPC at the cellular level, as we observed a significant decrease in input resistance and AP frequency, and an increase in rheobase in PPC interneurons. Furthermore, these effects persisted even after 10 minutes of washout, indicating sustained changes in neuronal excitability. Intriguingly, acute alcohol exposure did not alter the neuronal excitability in PPC pyramidal neurons. This set of electrophysiological data may be of interest to investigators who are studying how alcohol effects voltage-gated ion channels.
