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
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by demyelination and neurodegeneration, often accompanied by cognitive and emotional impairments. To investigate neuronal alterations associated with neuropsychiatric disorders, we investigated intrinsic excitability and synaptic properties of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a mouse model of MS. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were performed in acute hippocampal slices from presymptomatic and symptomatic female EAE mice and complete Freund's adjuvant-treated controls. Intrinsic properties were significantly altered in symptomatic EAE mice, with a reduction in firing frequency associated with ∼24% decrease in input resistance (Rin). However, action potential threshold, rheobase, and amplitude remained unaltered. Synaptic transmission was also preserved, as spontaneous excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic current frequency and amplitude, along with paired-pulse ratio, showed no significant differences across groups. Importantly, we found that hyperpolarization-activated (Ih) currents, key regulators of neuronal excitability that have been implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders, were enhanced in symptomatic EAE mice, correlating with the observed decreased Rin. Pharmacological isolation of Ih currents using the blocker ZD7288 confirmed this increase. Western blots from the EAE hippocampal tissue revealed elevated HCN1 expression, a major Ih-conducting channel subunit in CA1 pyramidal neurons, in symptomatic EAE. Together, these findings indicate that upregulated Ih is associated with reduced Rin and may contribute to limiting neuronal excitability in the hippocampus of symptomatic EAE, independent of changes in excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission. This intrinsic adaptation may contribute to hippocampal dysfunction associated with MS, highlighting Ih modulation as a potential therapeutic target.
