The Gαs-protein-mediated pathway may be steadily stimulated by prostanoid EP2 receptors, but not by EP4 receptors.
Article in FEBS open bio, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
EP2 and EP4 prostanoid receptors have long been considered to have similar roles, since they are known to couple with Gαs-protein and activate cAMP-mediated signaling pathways. In this study, we re-evaluated the results of cAMP assays with or without phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor pretreatment. Here, we show that in the absence of PDE inhibitor pretreatment, prostaglandin E
