Evolution of long-range myofibrillar crystallinity in insect flight muscle as examined by X-ray cryomicrodiffraction.

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.
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
Insect flight muscle is known for its crystal-quality regularity of contractile protein arrangement within a sarcomere. We have previously shown by X-ray microdiffraction that the crystal-quality regularity in bumble-bee flight muscle is not confined within a sarcomere, but extends over the entire length of a myofibril (>1000 sarcomeres connected in series). Because of this, the whole myofibril may be regarded as a millimetre-long, natural single protein crystal. Using bright X-ray beams from a synchrotron radiation source, we examined how this long-range crystallinity has evolved among winged insects. We analysed >4600 microdiffraction patterns of quick-frozen myofibrils from 50 insect species, covering all the major winged insect orders. The results show that the occurrence of such long-range crystallinity largely coincides with insect orders with asynchronous muscle operation. However, a few of the more skilled fliers among lower-order insects apparently have developed various degrees of structural regularity, suggesting that the demand for skillful flight has driven the lattice structure towards increased regularity.
