RGK regulation of voltage-gated calcium channels.
Review in Science China. Life sciences, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) play critical roles in cardiac and skeletal muscle contractions, hormone and neurotransmitter release, as well as slower processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and death. Mutations in VGCCs lead to numerous cardiac, muscle and neurological disease, and their physiological function is tightly regulated by kinases, phosphatases, G-proteins, calmodulin and many other proteins. Fifteen years ago, RGK proteins were discovered as the most potent endogenous regulators of VGCCs. They are a family of monomeric GTPases (Rad, Rem, Rem2, and Gem/Kir), in the superfamily of Ras GTPases, and they have two known functions: regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics including dendritic arborization and inhibition of VGCCs. Here we review the mechanisms and molecular determinants of RGK-mediated VGCC inhibition, the physiological impact of this inhibition, and recent evidence linking the two known RGK functions.
