Immunocytochemical localization of taurine in different muscle cell types of the dog and rat.
Article in The Histochemical journal, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The presence and distribution of the amino acid taurine in different muscle cell types of the dog and rat was examined by immunocytochemical methods. The light microscope study revealed that smooth muscle cells were similarly immunoreactive for taurine, whereas skeletal muscle fibres showed wide differences in taurine immunoreactivity among individual cells. Some skeletal fibres were strongly immunoreactive whereas others did not display immunolabelling. Mononucleated satellite cells, found adjacent to skeletal fibres in a quiescent stage, were also immunostained. Other myoid cells, such as testicular peritubular cells showed a cytoplasmic and a nuclear pool of taurine. By means of electron microscope immunolabelling, the subcellular localization of taurine was studied in vascular and visceral smooth muscle cells. Taurine was present in most subcellular compartments and frequently appeared randomly distributed. Taurine was localized on myofilaments, dense bodies, mitochondria, the plasma membrane and the cell nucleus. Moreover, the labelling density within individual smooth muscle cells was variable and depended on the state of contraction of each single fibre. Contracted cells showed a higher density of gold particles than relaxed cells. Unmyelinated nerve fibres, found adjacent to smooth muscle cells from the muscularis mucosae and the lamina propria of the stomach, were unstained or poorly stained.
