Vasodilators activate TMEM16A channels in endothelial cells to reduce blood pressure.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Endothelial cells (ECs) regulate vascular contractility to control regional organ blood flow and systemic blood pressure. Several cation channels are expressed in ECs which regulate arterial contractility. In contrast, the molecular identity and physiological functions of anion channels in ECs is unclear. Here, we generated tamoxifen-inducible, EC-specific One sentence summary: Vasodilators stimulate TRPV4 channels, leading to calcium-dependent activation of nearby TMEM16A channels in ECs to produce arterial hyperpolarization, vasodilation and a reduction in blood pressure.
