1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Sensory systems, built around specialized cell types, are central to how animals perceive and respond to their environments. However, the evolutionary origin of these systems remains unclear. Here, we show that choanoflagellates, the sister group of animals, possess remarkably diverse repertoires of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, an ancient superfamily of sensory ion channels. Comparative analyses indicate that most major animal TRP channel families predate the origin of animals and reveal extensive radiations of the TRPM and TRPW families within choanoflagellates, with the latter family likely being lost in the animal lineage. Furthermore, in the choanoflagellate model
