A combined solution exchange/plunge-freezing device for skinned muscle fibers.

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
For many contractility studies, defined functional states of skinned muscle fiber preparations can be introduced by application of standardized perfusion protocols with large varieties of experimental solutions. Functionally important subcellular element distributions in the myoplasm and in the sarcoplasmic reticulum can be measured with high spatial resolution by electron microscopic microanalysis. Capturing these subcellular ion distributions requires their rapid immobilization by quick-freezing. We therefore combined a plunge-freezing device with a semiautomatic solution exchanger to reproducibly perfuse skinned muscle fiber bundles with multiple solutions. The isometric tension produced is simultaneously recorded as an indicator for the functional state. The samples can be quick-frozen at any chosen time of the tension transient. A cryoglueing technique finally delivers specimens suitable for cryoultramicrotomy.
