Temperature effect on proximal to distal gradient of quantal release of acetylcholine at frog endplate.
Article in Neurochemical research, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The conduction velocity of the nerve terminal, mean quantal content, and release latencies of uniquantal endplate currents (EPCs) were recorded in proximal, central, and distal parts of the terminal by extracellular pipettes located 5, 50, and 100 microm from the end of myelinated nerve trunk. The spike conduction velocity, minimal latency, modal value of the latency histograms, and time interval during which 90% of EPCs released (P90) at distal, central, and proximal part of the frog nerve terminal have different temperature dependency between 10 degrees and 28 degrees C. As shown by the size and time-course of reconstructed multiquantal EPCs, the secretion synchronization, which is greatest in distal parts, compensates at least partly for the progressive slowing of spike conduction velocity in the proximodistal direction, in particular at lower temperatures.
