The Huxley crossbridge model as the basic mechanism for airway smooth muscle contraction.
Article in American journal of physiology. Lung cellular and molecular physiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The cyclic interaction between myosin crossbridges and actin filaments underlies smooth muscle contraction. Phosphorylation of the 20-kDa myosin light chain (MLC20) is a crucial step in activating the crossbridge cycle. Our current understanding of smooth muscle contraction is based on observed correlations among MLC20 phosphorylation, maximal shortening velocity (
