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
Tutin, an established toxic natural product that causes epilepsy in rodents, is often used as a tool to develop animal model of acute epileptic seizures. However, the molecular target and toxic mechanism of tutin were unclear. In this study, for the first time, we conducted experiments to clarify the targets in tutin-induced epilepsy using thermal proteome profiling. Our studies showed that calcineurin (CN) was a target of tutin, and that tutin activated CN, leading to seizures. Binding site studies further established that tutin bound within the active site of CN catalytic subunit. CN inhibitor and calcineurin A (CNA) knockdown experiments in vivo proved that tutin induced epilepsy by activating CN, and produced obvious nerve damage. Together, these findings revealed that tutin caused epileptic seizures by activating CN. Moreover, further mechanism studies found that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors and voltage- and Ca
