Expression of the genes encoding kinin receptors are increased in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques.
Article in Biomedical reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
There is increasing evidence showing that inflammation occurs in atherosclerosis and contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. As important inflammatory peptides, kinins are increased in inflammation, eliciting vasodilation, increasing vascular permeability and recruiting inflammatory cells to the injury sites by activating specific receptors, B1 and B2. The two receptors have been reported to increase in inflammation, but their expressions remain to be defined in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques (CAP). In order to assess the gene expression of kinin receptors in human CAP, 47 CAP specimens were collected from patients undergoing endarterectomy and classified into stable and unstable plaque groups, respectively, with 10 mesenteric arteries used as controls.
