A novel evaluation of endothelial dysfunction ex vivo: "Teaching an Old Drug a New Trick".
Article in Physiological reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Many CVDs begin with endothelium dysfunction (ED), including hypertension, thrombosis, and atherosclerosis. Our assay evaluated ED in isolated murine aorta by quantifying phenylephrine-induced contractions (PE) in the presence of L-NAME, which blocked acetylcholine-induced relaxation (ACh %; >99%). The "L-NAME PE Contraction Ratio" (PECR) was defined as: "PE Tension post-L-NAME" divided by "PE Tension pre-L-NAME." We hypothesized that our novel PE Contraction Ratio would strongly correlate with alterations in endothelium function. Validation 1: PECR and ACh % values of naïve aortas were strongly and positively correlated (PECR vs. ACh %, r
