Piezo knockdown reduces 5‑hydroxytryptamine release from enterochromaffin cells and exacerbates intestinal dyskinesia in mice with functional constipation.

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
Enterochromaffin (EC) cell dysfunction decreases 5‑hydroxytryptamine (5‑HT) secretion, contributing to functional constipation (FC). However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Piezo ion channels mediate 5‑HT release from EC cells. The present study investigated the roles and mechanisms of Piezo1 and Piezo2 in the pathogenesis of FC and explored possible interactions. In a loperamide‑induced FC mouse model, Piezo1 and Piezo2 were singly or simultaneously knocked down using adeno‑associated viruses. In vitro, their function in EC cells was assessed via lentiviral‑mediated knockdown in the QGP‑1 cell line. In FC mice, the expression of Piezo1 and Piezo2, along with their colocalization with EC cells, was significantly reduced. Knockdown of either channel impaired intestinal motility, prolonged gastrointestinal transit time, delayed gastric emptying and reduced small intestinal propulsion. Correspondingly, 5‑HT, 5‑HT
