The kinetic properties of smooth muscle: how a little extra weight makes myosin faster.
Review in Journal of muscle research and cell motility, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 contractile properties of smooth muscle (SM) are often described as fast and slow, but the molecular basis for the diversity in contractile properties has yet to be fully elucidated. Studies have shown that the differences in the contractile parameters are seen at the level of the contractile proteins. Experiments have implicated both the splicing of the SM myosin heavy chain (MHC) and the SM myosin essential myosin light chain as possible molecular determinants of the contractile properties of SM. This communication will focus on the role of the 7 aa insert in the smooth muscle MHC in determining the contractile properties of SM and the possible mechanism by which this insert could alter the kinetics of the SM actomyosin ATPase.
