Parallel signaling pathways of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) regulate several intrinsic ion channels.
Review in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP), acting through its cognate receptors PAC1, VPAC1, and VPAC2, is a pleiotropic signaling neuropeptide of the vasoactive intestinal peptide/secretin/glucagon family. PACAP has known functions in neuronal growth, development, and repair, and central PACAP signaling has acute behavioral consequences. One of the ways in which PACAP may affect neuronal function is through the modulation of intrinsic membrane currents to control neuronal excitability. Here, we review the evidence of PACAP-dependent modulation of calcium- and voltage-gated potassium currents, hyperpolarization-activated cation currents, calcium currents, and voltage-gated sodium currents. Interestingly, PACAP signaling pathways diverge into parallel pathways to target different ionic currents for modulation, though single pathways are not limited to modulating just one target ionic current. Despite the various targets of modulation, the weight of the evidence suggests that PACAP signaling most commonly leads to a net increase in neuronal excitability. We discuss possible mechanisms by which PACAP signaling leads to the modulation of intrinsic membrane currents that may contribute to changes in behavior.
