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
Background: The calcium-activated non-specific cation channel TRPM4 mediates membrane depolarization in many cell types, including cardiomyocytes and Purkinje cells. Rare genetic alterations in the Methods and results: Genetic testing was performed using whole-exome sequencing (WES). Modified human embryonic kidney cells overexpressing either wild-type or the variant p.L91Δ of human TRPM4 were used to investigate the biochemical and functional consequences of this deletion. Western blot and biotinylation experiments revealed a significant reduction in the expression of the mutant channel compared with the wild-type. Functional experiments using the patch-clamp approach demonstrated a significant decrease in TRPM4 current, consistent with the biochemical observations. Conclusion: The new TRPM4 in-frame deletion, p.L91Δ, identified in two unrelated patients with a consistent phenotype, causes a significant decrease in channel expression, leading to its loss of function in the heterologous expression system. These findings further exemplify the role of TRPM4 in genetic cardiac channelopathies.
