The mechanical hypothesis of excitation-contraction (EC) coupling in skeletal muscle.
Review in Journal of muscle research and cell motility, 1991. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 82 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 mechanism of transmission in skeletal muscle EC coupling is still an open question. There is some indirect evidence in favour of the mechanical coupling hypothesis, deriving mostly from consideration of the structure of the Ca2+ release channel protein. A new functional approach is proposed, that consists in comparing the properties of the complete system--EC coupling in a skeletal muscle fibre--with those of the EC coupling molecules in bilayers. In this approach, those properties of the whole system that are not traceable to its constitutive molecules, are ascribed to the physiological interaction, and are expected to yield new information on the nature of this interaction.
