Taurine interaction with neurotransmitter receptors in the CNS: an update.
Review in Neurochemical research, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 89 papers.
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
Taurine appears to have multiple functions in the brain participating both in volume regulation and neurotransmission. In the latter context it may exert its actions by serving as an agonist at receptors of the GABAergic and glycinergic neurotransmitter systems. Its interaction with GABAA and GABAB receptors as well as with glycine receptors is reviewed and the physiological relevance of such interactions is evaluated. The question as to whether local extracellular concentrations of taurine are likely to reach the threshold level for the pertinent receptor populations cannot presently be answered satisfactorily. Hence more sophisticated analytical methods are warranted in order to obtain a definite answer to this important question.
