Interstitial cells in the vasculature.
Review in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 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
Interstitial cells of Cajal are believed to play an important role in gastrointestinal tissues by generating and propagating electrical slow waves to gastrointestinal muscles and/or mediating signals from the enteric nervous system. Recently cells with similar morphological characteristics have been found in the wall of blood vessels such as rabbit portal vein and guinea pig mesenteric artery. These non-contractile cells are characterised by the presence of numerous processes and were easily detected in the wall of the rabbit portal vein by staining with methylene blue or by antibodies to the marker of Interstitial Cells of Cajal c-kit. These vascular cells have been termed "interstitial cells" by analogy with interstitial cells found in the gastrointestinal tract. Freshly dispersed interstitial cells from rabbit portal vein and guinea pig mesenteric artery displayed various Ca2+-release events from endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum including fast localised Ca2+ transients (Ca2+ sparks) and longer and slower Ca2+ events. Single interstitial cells from the rabbit portal vein, which is a spontaneously active vessel, also demonstrated rhythmical Ca2+ oscillations associated with membrane depolarisations, which suggests that in this vessel interstitial cells may act as pacemakers for smooth muscle cells. The function of interstitial cells from the mesenteric arteries is yet unknown. This article reviews some of the recent findings regarding interstitial cells from blood vessels obtained by our laboratory using electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, tight-seal patch-clamp recording, and fluorescence confocal imaging techniques.
