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

The speed and force of myocardial contraction during systolic ejection is largely dependent on the intrinsic contractile properties of cardiac myocytes. As the myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform of cardiac muscle is an important determinant of the contractile properties of individual myocytes, we studied the effects of altered MHC isoform expression in rat myocardium on the mechanical properties of skinned ventricular preparations. Skinned myocardium from thyroidectomized rats expressing only the beta MHC isoform displayed rates of force redevelopment that were about 2.5-fold slower than in myocardium from hyperthyroid rats expressing only the alpha MHC isoform, but the amount of force generated at a given level of Ca2+ activation was not different. Because recent studies suggest that the stretch activation response in myocardium has an important role in systolic function, we also examined the effect of MHC isoform expression on the stretch activation response by applying a rapid stretch (1% of muscle length) to an otherwise isometrically contracting muscle fibre. Sudden stretch of myocardium resulted in a concomitant increase in force that quickly decayed to a minimum and was followed by a delayed redevelopment of force (i.e. stretch activation) to levels greater than prestretch force. beta MHC expression dramatically slowed the overall rate of the stretch activation response compared to expression of alpha MHC isoform; specifically, the rate of force decay was approximately 2-fold slower and the rate of delayed force development was approximately 2.5-fold slower. In contrast, MHC isoform had no effect on the amplitude of the stretch activation response. Collectively, these data show that expression of beta MHC in myocardium dramatically slows rates of cross-bridge recruitment and detachment which would be expected to decrease power output and contribute to depressed systolic function in end-stage heart failure.
