An Ancient CFTR Ortholog Informs Molecular Evolution in ABC Transporters.
Article in Developmental cell, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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 cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a chloride channel central to the development of secretory diarrhea and cystic fibrosis. The oldest CFTR ortholog identified is from dogfish shark, which retains similar structural and functional characteristics to the mammalian protein, thereby highlighting CFTR's critical role in regulating epithelial ion transport in vertebrates. However, the identification of an early CFTR ortholog with altered structure or function would provide critical insight into the evolution of epithelial anion transport. Here, we describe the earliest known CFTR, expressed in sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), with unique structural features, altered kinetics of activation and sensitivity to inhibition, and altered single-channel conductance compared to human CFTR. Our data provide the earliest evolutionary evidence of CFTR, offering insight regarding changes in gene and protein structure that underpin evolution from transporter to anion channel. Importantly, these data provide a unique platform to enhance our understanding of vertebrate phylogeny over a critical period of evolutionary expansion.
