Presynaptic mechanisms controlling calcium-triggered transmitter release at the neuromuscular junction.
Article in Current opinion in physiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Calcium-triggered neurotransmission underlies most communication in the nervous system. Yet, despite the conserved and essential nature of this process, the molecular underpinnings of calcium-triggered neurotransmission have been difficult to study directly and our understanding to this date remains incomplete. Here we frame more recent efforts to understand this process with a historical perspective of the study of neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction. We focus on the role of calcium channel distribution and organization relative to synaptic vesicles, as well as the nature of the calcium sensors that trigger release. Importantly, we provide a framework for understanding how the function of neurotransmitter release sites, or active zones, contributes to the function of the synapse as a whole.
