Membrane-tethered ligands: tools for cell-autonomous pharmacological manipulation of biological circuits.
Review in Physiology (Bethesda, Md.), 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Detection of secreted signaling molecules by cognate cell surface receptors is a major intercellular communication pathway in cellular circuits that control biological processes. Understanding the biological significance of these connections would allow us to understand how cellular circuits operate as a whole. Membrane-tethered ligands are recombinant transgenes with structural modules that allow them to act on cell-surface receptors and ion channel subtypes with pharmacological specificity in a cell-autonomous manner. Membrane-tethered ligands have been successful in the specific manipulation of ion channels as well as G-protein-coupled receptors, and, in combination with cell-specific promoters, such manipulations have been restricted to genetically defined subpopulations within cellular circuits in vivo to induce specific phenotypes controlled by those circuits. These studies establish the membrane-tethering approach as a generally applicable method for dissecting neural and physiological circuits.
