Probing Changes in Ca
Article in Micromachines, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Mechanobiology studies the means by which physical forces and mechanical properties change intra- or inter- biological macromolecules. Calmodulin (CaM) is involved in physiological activities and various metabolic processes in eukaryotic cells. Although the configuration changes in the interaction between calmodulin and melittin have been studied, the biomechanical relationship of their interaction has rarely been explored. Here, we measured the adhesion forces between calmodulin and melittin in solutions of gradient concentration of calcium ions using atomic force microscopy (AFM). We found that the specific (
