Lacosamide Inhibition of Na
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Lacosamide, developed as an anti-epileptic drug, has been used for the treatment of pain. Unlike typical anticonvulsants and local anesthetics which enhance fast-inactivation and bind within the pore of sodium channels, lacosamide enhances slow-inactivation of these channels, suggesting different binding mechanisms and mode of action. It has been reported that lacosamide's effect on Na
