Neural control of the expression of a Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel involved in the induction of myotonic-like characteristics.

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
1. Expression of the apamin-sensitive K+ channel (SK+) in rat skeletal muscle is neurally regulated. The regulatory effect of the nerve over the expression of some muscle ion channels has been attributed to the electrical activity triggered by the nerve and/or to a trophic effect of some molecules transported from the soma to the axonal endings. 2. SK+ channels apparently are involved in myotonic dystrophy (MD), therefore understanding the factors that regulate their expression may ultimately have important clinical relevance. 3. To establish if axoplasmic transport is involved in this process, we used two experimental approaches in adult rats: (a) Both sciatic nerves were severed, leaving a short or a long nerve stump attached to the anterior tibialis (AT). (b) Colchicine or vinblastine (VBL), two axonal transport blockers of different potencies, was applied on one leg to the sciatic nerve. To determine whether electrical activity affects the expression of SK+ channels, denervated AT were directly stimulated. The corresponding contralateral muscles were used as controls.
