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
aimsMissense variants in the CALM1, CALM2, and CALM3 genes cause calmodulinopathy, which is characterized by ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Although the three genes encode an identical protein, their individual roles and gene-specific clinical implications remain poorly understood. We aimed to determine the relative contribution from each of the genes to the total calmodulin amount and assess the consequence of missense mutations on the severity of calmodulinopathy. METHODS AND
resultsUsing data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project, we show that CALM2 constituted a higher percentage of the calmodulin-coding mRNA (41.9%) compared with CALM1 (36.8%) and CALM3 (21.3%) (P < 2 × 10-16). Paired RNA sequencing and ribosome profiling data from the left ventricle was used to demonstrate that the translation into calmodulin protein was significantly different among CALM1 (44.8%) and CALM2 (44.2%), and CALM3 (11.0%) (P < 2 × 10-16). The observed-to-expected ratio for the number of missense variants in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) was 0.29 (90% CI, 0.23-0.36) in CALM3, 0.20 (90% CI, 0.15-0.27) in CALM2, and 0.11 in CALM1 (90% CI, 0.07-0.17). In the International Calmodulinopathy Registry, a different percentage of carriers experiencing cardiac events was observed among those with missense variants in CALM1 (46/52, 89%), CALM2 (37/53, 70%), and CALM3 (20/35, 57%) (P = 0.004).
conclusionCompared with CALM1 and CALM2, CALM3 is under less negative selection and missense variant carriers are less prone to cardiac events. We suggest this is partially due to CALM3 accounting for only 11% of the calmodulin protein produced in the ventricles.
