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 accumulation of neutrophils and macrophages, as well as the activation of satellite cells, are early events following skeletal muscle injury. We examined the temporal relationship between changes in neutrophils, macrophages, and MyoD protein, a marker of satellite cell activation, after injurious exercise. Male rats ( n=47) performed an intermittent downhill (-16% grade) running (17 m/min) protocol and the solei were obtained at 0, 2, 6, 24, 48, or 72 h post-exercise. Neutrophils, macrophages (ED1 and ED2), and MyoD+ cells were determined in muscle cross sections using immunohistochemistry. Downhill running increased ( P<or=0.05) the percentage of injured fibers and elevated blood creatine kinase activity. Neutrophils were elevated 18-fold relative to controls at 24 h post-exercise. ED1 macrophages were elevated four- and twofold at 24 and 48 h post-exercise, respectively. Neither ED2 macrophages nor MyoD+ cells were elevated post-exercise. These observations may indicate that elevations in neutrophils and ED1 macrophages after injurious exercise are not temporally associated with an increase in satellite cell activation.
