Sez6L2 autoimmunity induces cerebellar ataxia in mice.
Article in Journal of neuroinflammation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Sez6L2 autoantibodies have been reported in patients with subacute cerebellar ataxia, presenting with gait disturbances, frequent falls, slurred speech, and repetitive eye movements. These case studies suggest that autoimmunity against Sez6L2 causes cerebellar damage leading to ataxia. Sez6L2 is a transmembrane protein expressed by most neurons, with the highest levels in the cerebellum. We tested whether immunizing C57BL/6 mice against Sez6L2 could produce an autoimmune response resulting in ataxia symptoms and immune attack on the brain/cerebellum. We found that immunized mice generated significant levels of anti-Sez6L2 antibodies, with IgGs present in the cerebellar parenchyma. Additionally, Sez6L2-immunized mice developed a significant population of Sez6L2-specific T cells targeting two immunodominant epitopes and showed increased CD4
