Inducible EphA4 knockout causes motor deficits in young mice and is not protective in the SOD1
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor neuron loss that ultimately leads to fatal paralysis. Reducing levels or function of the tyrosine kinase, ephrin type-A receptor 4 (EphA4), has been suggested as a potential approach for slowing disease progression in ALS. Because EphA4 plays roles in embryonic nervous system development, study of constitutive knockout (KO) of EphA4 in mice is limited due to confounding phenotypes with homozygous knockout. We used a tamoxifen-inducible EphA4 conditional KO mouse to achieve strong reduction of EphA4 levels in postnatal mice to test for protective effects in the SOD1
