From microbial membrane proteins to the mysteries of emotion.
Article in Cell, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
On the occasion of the 2021 Lasker Basic Medical Research Award to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Dieter Oesterhelt (for "the discovery of light-sensitive microbial proteins that can activate or deactivate individual brain cells-leading to the development of optogenetics and revolutionizing neuroscience"), Deisseroth reflects on this international collaboration, his basic mechanistic and structural discoveries regarding microbial channels that transduce photons into ion current, the causal exploration of brain cell function, and the pressing mysteries of psychiatry.
