Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that gabapentin lowers heart rate?

Unclear. Animal studies report that gabapentin lowers heart rate in hypertensive rats, and several small clinical trials examined whether preoperative gabapentin blunts the heart-rate rise during intubation, but their retrieved text does not report results. No item establishes a general heart-rate-lowering effect in humans.
