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
NAV2729 is a presumed inhibitor of the monomeric GTPase ADP ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) and inhibits smooth muscle contraction outside the cardiovascular system. Its effects on vascular smooth muscle contraction or a possible role of ARF6 in vasocontraction have not yet been examined. Here, we report effects of NAV2729 on neurogenic and agonist-induced contractions in renal interlobar and coronary arteries. Contractions of pig interlobar and coronary arteries were induced in an organ bath by agonists or by electric field stimulation (EFS). Owing to divergent characteristics of both vessel types, EFS-induced contractions were only examined in interlobar arteries, and contractions by agonists acting on muscarinic receptors only in coronary arteries. NAV2729 inhibited frequency-dependent EFS-induced contractions of interlobar arteries. The degree of inhibition was similar using 5 µM and 10 µM NAV2729. Inhibition of EFS-induced contractions was resistant to a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor and to diclofenac. The neurogenic and adrenergic character of EFS-induced contractions was confirmed by inhibition by tetrodotoxin and prazosin. In coronary arteries, NAV2729 (5 µM) inhibited concentration-dependent contractions induced by carbachol and methacholine. Contractions induced by α
