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
The CFTR chloride channel is essential for airway surface hydration and mucociliary clearance, and its activity is controlled by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation. We previously observed that pharmacological activation of the TRPV4 calcium channel stimulates CFTR, but the underlying mechanism remained unresolved. Here, we show that TRPV4 and CFTR are expressed in distinct epithelial cell types, indicating that TRPV4-induced CFTR activation occurs through a paracrine mechanism. Using a luciferase-based assay, we demonstrate that TRPV4 activation triggers ATP release at the apical surface. Pharmacological inhibition reveals that extracellular ATP activates CFTR through both P2Y2 purinergic and A2B adenosine receptors and that blocking these receptors nearly abolishes the response. These findings identify a TRPV4-ATP/adenosine-CFTR signaling axis that links mechanical and chemical stimuli to the control of airway surface hydration, with potential implications for mucociliary clearance and airway disease.
