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 importance of thyroid hormone receptors for isometric force, endurance and content of specific muscle enzymes was studied in isolated slow-twitch soleus and fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles in mice deficient in all known subtypes of thyroid hormone receptors (i.e. TR alpha1, beta1, beta2 and beta3). The weights of soleus and EDL muscles were lower in TR-deficient (TRalpha1-/-beta-/-) mice than in wild-type controls. The force per cross-sectional area was not significantly different between TRalpha1-/-beta-/- and wild-type muscles. Soleus muscles of TRalpha1-/-beta-/- mice showed increased contraction and relaxation times and the force-frequency relationship was shifted to the left. Soleus muscles of TRalpha1-/-beta-/- mice were more fatigue resistant than wild-type controls. Protein analysis of TRalpha1-/-beta-/- soleus muscles showed a marked increase in expression of the slow isoform of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump (SERCa2), whilst expression of the fast type (SERCa1) was decreased. There was also a major decrease in the alpha2-subunit of the Na+-K+ pump in TRalpha1-/-beta-/- soleus muscles. EDL muscles from TRalpha1-/-beta-/- and wild-type mice showed no significant difference in contraction and relaxation times, fatigue resistance and protein expression. In conclusion, the present data show changes in contractile characteristics of skeletal muscles of TRalpha1-/-beta-/- mice similar to those seen in hypothyroidism. We have previously shown that muscles of mice deficient in TRalpha1 or TRbeta display modest changes in muscle function. Thus, in skeletal muscle there seems to be functional overlap between TRalpha1 and TRbeta, so that the lack of one of the receptors to some extent can be compensated for by the presence of the other.
