Spectrum of NMDA Receptor Variants in Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Epilepsy.
Review in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2024. 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
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) are ligand-gated ion channels mediating excitatory neurotransmission and are important for normal brain development, cognitive abilities, and motor functions. Pathogenic variants in the Glutamate receptor Ionotropic N-methyl-D-aspartate (GRIN) genes (GRIN1, GRIN2A-D) encoding NMDAR subunits have been associated with a wide spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders and epilepsies ranging from treatable focal epilepsies to devastating early-onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Genetic variants in NMDA receptor genes can cause a range of complex alterations to receptor properties resulting in various degrees of loss-of-function, gain-of-function, or mixtures thereof. Understanding how genetic variants affect the function of the receptors, therefore, represents an important first step in the ongoing development towards targeted therapies. Currently, targeted treatment options for GRIN-related diseases are limited. However, treatment with memantine has been reported to significantly reduce seizure frequency in a few individuals with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies harboring de novo gain-of-function GRIN2A missense variants, and supplementary treatment with L-serine has been associated with improved motor and cognitive performance as well as reduced seizure frequency in patients with GRIN2B loss-of-function missense variants as well as GRIN2A and GRIN2B null variants.
