Stargazer--a mouse to seize!
Article in Epilepsy currents. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The goals of this short review are to familiarize readers with the stargazer mouse and to outline the major functional defects associated with this mutant. The roles of the stargazin protein in calcium channel function and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-receptor trafficking are discussed; focus is placed on studies regarding the thalamus, whence absence seizures potentially originate, and the cerebellum, which is associated with the ataxic phenotype. Finally, two additional alleles of stargazer, waggler and stargazer 3Jackson (3J), illustrate the value of an allelic series for understanding stargazin function.
