Distinct potassium channel types in brain capillary pericytes.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Capillaries, composed of electrically coupled endothelial cells and overlying pericytes, constitute the vast majority of blood vessels in the brain. The most arteriole-proximate three to four branches of the capillary bed are covered by α-actin-expressing, contractile pericytes. These mural cells have a distinctive morphology and express different markers compared with their smooth muscle cell (SMC) cousins but share similar excitation-coupling contraction machinery. Despite this similarity, pericytes are considerably more depolarized than SMCs at low intravascular pressures. We have recently shown that pericytes, such as SMCs, possess functional voltage-dependent Ca
