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

Myosin co-assembles with paramyosin in the thick filaments of invertebrate muscles. The molar ratio of the two proteins varies greatly but where sufficient paramyosin is present it forms the filament core with myosin arranged on its surface. In the fastest acting striated muscles, paramyosin is present in small amounts, and neither its location nor the nature of its interactions with myosin has previously been established. Antibodies to paramyosin have now been used in an attempt to locate the protein in thick filaments that have been isolated from the striated adductor muscle of the scallop and then frayed apart into their constituent subfilaments. Using a gold-conjugated secondary antibody, the location of paramyosin in relation to the subfilaments has been determined by electron microscopy of negatively stained samples. The labelling indicates that paramyosin extends throughout the length of the scallop filaments and appears to be associated with each subfilament, raising the possibility that in these filaments paramyosin may not be confined to a central core domain.
