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

In the last 10 years an increasing number of studies have provided an insight in the signalling mechanisms underlying myogenesis and fibre type specification during embryonic development: this paper aims to review the most relevant findings. In vertebrates a central role in muscle differentiation is played by the MyoD family, a group of transcription factors which activate transcription of muscle specific genes. In turn MyoD family is expressed in response to inductive signals coming from tissues adjacent to somites, in the first place the notochord and the neural tube. Hedgehog and Wnt are among these inductive signals and they find in the future myoblasts a response pathway which includes Ptc, Smu and Gli. The signalling mechanisms have been analysed in model organisms: mouse, chick. zebrafish and Drosophila. For some factors the orthologs in different species have been found to accomplish similar function, but for some other factors important differences are present: for example in Drosophila twist codes for a transcription factor which promotes myogenesis, whereas its ortholog in mouse tends to prevent or inhibit myogenesis. Conversely, nautilus which is the orholog of MyoD in Drosophila does not have a general function in muscle differentiation, but is required for the differentiation of a limited group of muscle fibres.
