Chronic, episodic nicotine exposure alters GABAergic synaptic transmission to hypoglossal motor neurons and genioglossus muscle function at a critical developmental age.
Article in Journal of neurophysiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Regulation of GABAergic signaling through nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) activation is critical for neuronal development. Here, we test the hypothesis that chronic episodic developmental nicotine exposure (eDNE) disrupts GABAergic signaling, leading to dysfunction of hypoglossal motor neurons (XIIMNs), which innervate the tongue muscles. We studied control and eDNE pups at two developmentally vulnerable age ranges: postnatal days (P)1-5 and P10-12. The amplitude and frequency of spontaneous and miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents (sIPSCs, mIPSCs) at baseline were not altered by eDNE at either age. In contrast, eDNE increased GABA
