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

Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive non-selective cation channel. Genetic alterations of the channel result in a hematologic phenotype named Hereditary Xerocytosis. With Yoda1 and, more recently, Yoda2, compounds to increase the activity of Piezo1 have become available. However, their concrete effect depends on the nano environment of the channel and hence on the cell type. Here we compare the potency of Yoda1 and Yoda2 in red blood cells (RBCs). We investigate the effect of the compounds on direct channel activity using automated patch clamp, as well as the secondary effects of channel activation on signalling molecules and cellular response. In terms of signalling, we investigate the temporal response of the second messenger Ca
