Discovery of E2730, a novel selective uncompetitive GAT1 inhibitor, as a candidate for anti-seizure medication.

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
objectiveAs of 2022, 36 anti-seizure medications (ASMs) have been licensed for the treatment of epilepsy, however, adverse effects (AEs) are commonly reported. Therefore, ASMs with a wide margin between therapeutic effects and AEs are preferred over ASMs that are associated with a narrow margin between efficacy and risk of AEs. E2730 was discovered using in vivo phenotypic screening and characterized as an uncompetitive, yet selective, inhibitor of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter 1 (GAT1). Here, we describe the preclinical characteristics of E2730.
methodsAnti-seizure effects of E2730 were evaluated in several animal models of epilepsy: corneal kindling, 6 Hz-44 mA psychomotor seizure, amygdala kindling, Fragile X syndrome, and Dravet syndrome models. Effects of E2730 on motor coordination were assessed in accelerating rotarod tests. The mechanism of action of E2730 was explored by [
resultsE2730 showed anti-seizure effects in the assessed animal models with an approximately >20-fold margin between efficacy and motor incoordination. [ SIGNIFICANCE: E2730 is a novel, selective, uncompetitive GAT1 inhibitor, which acts selectively under the condition of increasing synaptic activity, contributing to a wide margin between therapeutic effect and motor incoordination.
