A close look at the contraction and relaxation of the myometrium; the role of calcium.
Review in Journal of the Turkish German Gynecological Association, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07056062 (Effect of Oral Calcium Carbonate on Uterine Contractility and Labor Outcomes), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 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.

Abstract
The function and regulation of the myometrium, especially during pregnancy, labour and birth are important in reproductive physiology. It is crucial to understand the mechanisms that generate and modulate uterine contractility in order to be able to prevent and/or treat the problems related with the myometrium. A limited understanding of the cellular and molecular events underlying these phenomena complicates the situation. Various agonists, hormones, transmitters and/or chemicals are related to the regulation of the functions of the myometrium. Although notable advances regarding the key steps in receptor signalling explaining the actions of these factors have been achieved, a good deal of information is still necessary to understand this vital process. A better comprehension of myometrium physiology and the translation of research findings to clinical settings will help progress in women's health. In this review, we attempt to present a critical overview of myometrial functions and focus specifically on the role of calcium.
