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

Introduction: Voltage-gated potassium channels of the K Methods: This systematic review, conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, evaluates original studies published between 2016 and January 2026 that investigated pharmacological modulation of K Results: A total of thirty-two studies met the predefined PICOS criteria. The literature reveals two pharmacological strategies: positive allosteric modulation aimed at enhancing fast-spiking inhibitory interneuron function and restoring excitation inhibition balance, and state-dependent channel inhibition, particularly relevant for pathogenic gain of function KCNC1 variants. Discussion: While early positive allosteric modulators demonstrated proof of mechanism with limited clinical success, second-generation compounds exhibit improved translational potential, including evidence that they modulate functional brain networks in humans. In parallel, clinically approved antidepressants have been identified as open-channel blockers of K Conclusions: Collectively, these findings highlight K
