An Emerging Role of PRRT2 in Regulating Growth Cone Morphology.
Article in Cells, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Mutations in the PRRT2 gene are the main cause for a group of paroxysmal neurological diseases including paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia, episodic ataxia, benign familial infantile seizures, and hemiplegic migraine. In the mature central nervous system, the protein has both a functional and a structural role at the synapse. Indeed, PRRT2 participates in the regulation of neurotransmitter release, as well as of actin cytoskeleton dynamics during synaptogenesis. Here, we show a role of the protein also during early stages of neuronal development. We found that PRRT2 accumulates at the growth cone in cultured hippocampal neurons. Overexpression of the protein causes an increase in the size and the morphological complexity of growth cones. In contrast, the growth cones of neurons derived from PRRT2 KO mice are smaller and less elaborated. Finally, we demonstrated that the aberrant shape of PRRT2 KO growth cones is associated with a selective alteration of the growth cone actin cytoskeleton. Our data support a key role of PRRT2 in the regulation of growth cone morphology during neuronal development.
