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

Objective of the study was to investigate growth characteristics and susceptibility to apoptosis in different murine muscle cell lines (selected for high body weight, DU-6; randomly mated control, DU-Ks; immortalized myoblast cell line, C2C12). Apoptosis was induced by serum deprivation. At days 4, 5, and 6 of cultivation, protein, DNA and the frequency of apoptotic cells were determined. Until day 4, C2C12 accumulated more DNA and protein compared with DU-Ks and DU-6, while exhibiting a lower percentage of apoptotic cells. Serum deprivation impaired the growth of each cell line. C2C12 continued to accumulate DNA and protein after serum deprivation, whereas reductions, indicative of cell death, were apparent in DU-Ks and DU-6. Serum deprivation did not enhance apoptosis in C2C12. Higher percentages of apoptosis were observed in DU-Ks and DU-6 after 2 days of serum deprivation with greater responsiveness of DU-6 to serum deprivation. The results suggest that cell loss in response to serum deprivation is in part due to induction of apoptosis. C2C12 are less sensitive to sub-optimal culture conditions compared with DU-Ks and DU-6 which are at a closer distance to the in vivo status. Moreover, long-term selection for growth decreases the basic frequency of apoptosis of muscle satellite cells, but increases their susceptibility to apoptosis induction.
