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

The development of myofibrils involves the formation of contractile filaments and their assembly into the strikingly regular structure of the sarcomere. We analysed this assembly process in cultured human skeletal muscle cells and in rat neonatal cardiomyocytes by immunofluorescence microscopy using antibodies directed against cytoskeletal and contractile proteins. In particular, the question in which temporal order the respective proteins are integrated into developing sarcomeres was addressed. Although sarcomeric myosin heavy chain is expressed as one of the first myofibrillar proteins, its characteristic A band arrangement is reached at a very late stage. In contrast, titin, then myomesin and finally C-protein (MyBP-C) gradually form a regularly arranged scaffold on stress fiber-like structures (SFLS), on non-striated myofibrils (NSMF) and on nascent striated myofibrils (naSMF). Immediately subsequent to the completion of sarcomere cytoskeleton formation, the labeling pattern of myosin changes from the continuous staining of SFLS to the periodic staining characteristic for mature myofibrils. This series of events can be seen most clearly in the skeletal muscle cell cultures and--probably due to a faster developmental progression less well in cardiomyocytes. We therefore conclude that the correct assembly of a cytoskeletal scaffold is a prerequisite for correct thick filament assembly and for the integration of the contractile apparatus into the myofibril.
