Why the emperor penguin reigns where elephants shiver.
Article in Cell calcium, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Accurate sensing of the environmental temperature is crucial for the survival and wellbeing of organisms. In vertebrates, the cold- and menthol-activated ion channel TRPM8 acts as the prime molecular sensor of cool temperatures. By comparing TRPM8 in vertebrates with different habitat temperatures, from elephants to penguins, Yang et al. identify key residues within the pore domain that determine the channel's cold sensitivity. Strikingly, mice engineered to express penguin TRPM8 show a remarkable tolerance to cold.
