Emerging roles for α2δ subunits in calcium channel function and synaptic connectivity.
Review in Current opinion in neurobiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Central nervous system function requires the proper formation and function of synapses. The α2δ auxiliary subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels have emerged as regulators of a number of critical events associated with regulation of synaptic function, including channel trafficking and localization, as well as the initial establishment of synaptic structures. In this review, we will discuss some of these recent studies which have uncovered novel mechanisms for α2δ function at the synapse, including the regulation of calcium channel α1 subunit specificity and the promotion of dendritic spine growth. Moreover, we will cover recent advances that have been made in understanding the consequences of aberrant α2δ signaling in injury and disease.
