Sleep Disturbances in Rats With Genetic Pre-disposition to Spike-Wave Epilepsy (WAG/Rij).
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Wistar Albino Glaxo Rijswijk (WAG/Rij) rats are widely used in basic and pre-clinical studies as a valid genetic model of absence epilepsy. Adult WAG/Rij rats exhibit generalized 8-10-Hz spike-wave discharges (SWDs) in the electroencephalogram. SWDs are known to result from thalamocortical circuit dysfunction, and this implies an intimate relationship between slow-wave EEG activity, sleep spindles, and SWDs. The present mini review summarizes relevant research on sleep-related disturbances associated with spike-wave epilepsy in WAG/Rij rats in the domain of slow-wave sleep EEG and microarousals. It also discusses enhancement of the intermediate stage of sleep. In general, sleep EEG studies provide important information about epileptogenic processes related to spike-wave epilepsy.
