Thermo-tone: A newly revealed mechanism of blood flow regulation.
Review in Experimental physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Myogenic tone enables dynamic control of tissue blood flow. This intrinsic property of vascular smooth muscle cells to sense stretch and reflexively adjust the calibre of small arteries is crucial to maintain capillary pressure and a blood flow reserve. For over 120 years blood pressure was considered the sole determinant of myogenic tone. Our recent research reveals an equal, critical role for temperature. This property, termed 'thermo-tone', renders the tone of arteries strictly heat dependent with thermosensitivities tuned close to resting tissue temperatures (25-37°C). Here, we discuss the underlying signalling mechanisms and the potential role for thermo-tone in the homeostatic regulation of blood flow.
