VDAC1 selectively transfers apoptotic Ca2+ signals to mitochondria.
Article in Cell death and differentiation, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 173 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
Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs) are expressed in three isoforms, with common channeling properties and different roles in cell survival. We show that VDAC1 silencing potentiates apoptotic challenges, whereas VDAC2 has the opposite effect. Although all three VDAC isoforms are equivalent in allowing mitochondrial Ca(2+) loading upon agonist stimulation, VDAC1 silencing selectively impairs the transfer of the low-amplitude apoptotic Ca(2+) signals. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments show that VDAC1, but not VDAC2 and VDAC3, forms complexes with IP(3) receptors, an interaction that is further strengthened by apoptotic stimuli. These data highlight a non-redundant molecular route for transferring Ca(2+) signals to mitochondria in apoptosis.
