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

Based on two criteria, the tightness of packing of myosin rods within the backbone of the filament and the degree of order of the myosin heads, thick filaments isolated from a control group of rat hearts had three different structures. Two of the structures of thick filaments had ordered myosin heads and were distinguishable from each other by the difference in tightness of packing of the myosin rods. Depending on the packing, their structure has been called loose or tight. The third structure had narrow shafts and disordered myosin heads extending at different angles from the backbone. This structure has been called disordered. After phosphorylation of myosin-binding protein C (MyBP-C) with protein kinase A (PKA), almost all thick filaments exhibited the loose structure. Transitions from one structure to another in quiescent muscles were produced by changing the concentration of extracellular Ca. The probability of interaction between isolated thick and thin filaments in control, PKA-treated preparations, and preparations exposed to different Ca concentrations was estimated by electron microscopy. Interactions were more frequent with phosphorylated thick filaments having the loose structure than with either the tight or disordered structure. In view of the presence of MgATP and the absence of Ca, the interaction between the myosin heads and the thin filaments was most likely the weak attachment that precedes the force-generating steps in the cross-bridge cycle. These results suggest that phosphorylation of MyBP-C in cardiac thick filaments increases the probability of cross-bridges forming weak attachments to thin filaments in the absence of activation. This mechanism may modulate the number of cross-bridges generating force during activation.
