Emerging roles of the TRPV4 channel in bladder physiology and dysfunction.
Review in The Journal of physiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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 transient receptor potential vanilloid type 4, TRPV4, is a polymodal cation channel which can be activated by diverse stimuli including mechanical, thermal and chemical cues. In the urinary bladder, TRPV4 is not only abundantly expressed in the urothelium but may also be localized in subepithelium, detrusor smooth muscles and afferent neurons. Emerging evidence indicates that the TRPV4 channel plays a sensory role in the uroepithelium, where it may regulate the release of sensory mediators such as ATP, which in turn modulates afferent nerve activity in response to bladder filling during the urination cycle. TRPV4 may also directly regulate detrusor contractility and the urothelial barrier function. Altered TRPV4 expression has been detected in various pathological bladder conditions. As such, TRPV4 may be a promising therapeutic target for bladder dysfunctions.
