Bursting interneurons in the deep dorsal horn develop increased excitability and sensitivity to serotonin after chronic spinal injury.
Article in Journal of neurophysiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 loss of descending serotonin (5-HT) to the spinal cord contributes to muscle spasms in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). Hyperexcitable motoneurons receive long-lasting excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs), which activate their persistent inward currents to drive muscle spasms. Deep dorsal horn (DDH) neurons with bursting behavior could be involved in triggering the EPSPs due to loss of inhibition in the chronically 5-HT-deprived spinal cord. Previously, in an acutely transected preparation, we found that bursting DDH neurons were affected by administration of the 5-HT
