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
A functional Ca(2+)-sensing receptor (CaS) is expressed endogenously in mouse N18TG2 neuroblastoma cells, and sequence analysis of the cDNA indicates high homology with both rat and human parathyroid CaS cDNAs. The CaS in N18TG2 cells appears as a single immunoreactive protein band at about 150 kDa on Western blots, consistent with native CaS from dorsal root ganglia. Both wild type (WT) and Gαq antisense knock-down (KD) cells responded to Ca(2+) and calindol, a positive allosteric modulator of the CaS, with a transient increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i), which was larger in the Gαq KD cells. Stimulation with 1 mM extracellular Ca(2+) (Ca(2+)e) increased [Ca(2+)]i in N18TG2 Gαq KD compared to WT cells. Ca(2+) mobilization was dependent on pertussis toxin-sensitive Gαi/o proteins and reduced by 30 μM 2-amino-ethyldiphenyl borate and 50 μM nifedipine to the same plateau levels in both cell types. Membrane-associated PKCα and p-PKCα increased with increasing [Ca(2+)]e in WT cells, but decreased in Gαq KD cells. Treatment of cells with 1 μM Gӧ 6976, a Ca(2+)-specific PKC inhibitor reduced Ca(2+) mobilization and membrane-associated PKCα and p-PKCα in both cell types. The results indicate that the CaS-mediated increase in [Ca(2+)]i in N18TG2 cells is dependent on Gαi/o proteins via inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) channels and store-operated Ca(2+) entry channels, whereas modulation of CaS responses involving PKCα phosphorylation and translocation to the plasma membrane occurs via a Gαq mechanism.
