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

For quantitative analysis of contractile proteins of muscle by means of X-ray diffraction, it is important to know how the intensities of individual reflections are related to the number of diffracting objects, i.e., the amount of constituent contractile protein in the muscle cell. Here we diffused various amounts of exogenous myosin subfragment-1 (S1) into overstretched skinned skeletal muscle fibers, either in the presence or absence of Ca2+ , and derived the relationship between the S1 content and the intensities of reflections arising from the S1. In theory, the intensities should be proportional to the square of the S1 content (square law). However, the intensity-content relation deviated systematically from the square law as the S1 content was lowered, and it was better described as a linear function at the lower end of the S1 contents (<20% of saturation level). Model calculations show that the way of deviation is explained by the cooperative manner of S1 binding to the regulated thin filament.
