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

It is 50 years since the sliding of actin and myosin filaments was proposed as the basis of force generation and shortening in striated muscle. Although this is now generally accepted, the detailed molecular mechanism of how myosin uses adenosine triphosphate to generate force during its cyclic interaction with actin is only now being unravelled. New insights have come from the unconventional myosins, especially myosin V. Myosin V is kinetically tuned to allow movement on actin filaments as a single molecule, which has led to new kinetic, mechanical and structural data that have filled in missing pieces of the actomyosin-chemo-mechanical transduction puzzle.
