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
Introduction: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a new therapeutic method for the treatment of neurological disorders such as epilepsy. However, the precise procedure underlying the anticonvulsant action of high-frequency stimulation (HFS) has remained unclear. This study explores the effect of HFS applied to the olfactory bulb (OB) on seizure-induced changes in spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs) in kindling animals. Methods: Male rats underwent a kindling procedure involving semi-rapid electrical stimulation (6 stimulations per day) of the hippocampal CA1 region. Fully kindled animals received HFS (at 130 Hz) at 5 min, 6 h, 24 h, and 30 h after the last kindling stimulation (kindled+HFS group). Subsequently, the impact of HFS on EPSCs was evaluated in CA1 pyramidal neurons of hippocampal slices from kindled subjects using the whole cell patch clamp technique. Results: In kindling animals, sEPSC amplitude increased (P<0.001), while the sEPSC inter-event interval decreased compared to the control group (P<0.05). Applying HFS in the OB of fully kindled animals resulted in a reduction in sEPSCs amplitude and an increase in the inter-event interval of sEPSCs. No significant differences between kindling and control groups were observed in membrane potential and input resistance. Notably, the application of HFS in kindling animals restored the observed changes, so no significant difference was observed in the measured parameters between the kindled+HFS and control groups. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the OB may be a viable target for DBS in epilepsy treatment. HFS application may mitigate a seizure-induced increase in sEPSCs occurrence.
