Optogenetic activation of the tongue in spontaneously breathing mice.
Article in Respiratory physiology & neurobiology, 2023. 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
Inadequate tongue muscle activation contributes to dysarthria, dysphagia, and obstructive sleep apnea. Thus, treatments which increase tongue muscle activity have potential clinical benefit. We hypothesized that lingual injection of an adeno-associated virus (AAV) encoding channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) would enable light-induced activation of tongue motor units during spontaneous breathing. An AAV serotype 9 vector (pACAGW-ChR2-Venus-AAV9, 8.29 × 10
