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

Effects of the number of actin-bound S1 and of axial tension on x-ray patterns from tetanized, intact skeletal muscle fibers were investigated. The muscle relaxant, BDM, reduced tetanic M3 meridional x-ray reflection intensity (I(M3)), M3 spacing (d(M3)), and the equatorial I(11)/I(10) ratio in a manner consistent with a reduction in the fraction of S1 bound to actin rather than by generation of low-force S1-actin isomers. At complete force suppression, I(M3) was 78% of its relaxed value. BDM distorted dynamic I(M3) responses to sinusoidal length oscillations in a manner consistent with an increased cross-bridge contribution to total sarcomere compliance, rather than a changed S1 lever orientation in BDM. When the number of actin-bound S1 was varied by altering myofilament overlap, tetanic I(M3) at low overlap was similar to that in high [BDM] (79% of relaxed I(M3)). Tetanic d(M3) dependence on active tension in overlap experiments differed from that observed with BDM. At high BDM, tetanic d(M3) approached its relaxed value (14.34 nm), whereas tetanic d(M3) at low overlap was 14.50 nm, close to its value at full overlap (14.56 nm). This difference in tetanic d(M3) behavior was explicable by a nonlinear thick filament compliance which is extended by both active and passive tension.
