Loss of TMEM16A causes a defect in epithelial Ca2+-dependent chloride transport.

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
Molecular identification of the Ca(2+)-dependent chloride channel TMEM16A (ANO1) provided a fundamental step in understanding Ca(2+)-dependent Cl(-) secretion in epithelia. TMEM16A is an intrinsic constituent of Ca(2+)-dependent Cl(-) channels in cultured epithelia and may control salivary output, but its physiological role in native epithelial tissues remains largely obscure. Here, we demonstrate that Cl(-) secretion in native epithelia activated by Ca(2+)-dependent agonists is missing in mice lacking expression of TMEM16A. Ca(2+)-dependent Cl(-) transport was missing or largely reduced in isolated tracheal and colonic epithelia, as well as hepatocytes and acinar cells from pancreatic and submandibular glands of TMEM16A(-/-) animals. Measurement of particle transport on the surface of tracheas ex vivo indicated largely reduced mucociliary clearance in TMEM16A(-/-) mice. These results clearly demonstrate the broad physiological role of TMEM16A(-/-) for Ca(2+)-dependent Cl(-) secretion and provide the basis for novel treatments in cystic fibrosis, infectious diarrhea, and Sjöegren syndrome.
