Review in Journal of muscle research and cell motility, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 51 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 majority of energy consumed by contracting muscle can be accounted for by two ATP-dependent processes, cross-bridge cycling and Ca(2+) cycling. The energy for Ca(2+) cycling is necessary for contraction but is an overhead cost, energy that cannot be converted into mechanical work. Measurement of the energy used for Ca(2+) cycling also provides a means of determining the total Ca(2+) released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the sarcoplasm during a contraction. To make such a measurement requires a method to selectively inhibit cross-bridge cycling without altering Ca(2+) cycling. In this review, we provide a critical analysis of the methods used to partition skeletal muscle energy consumption between cross-bridge and non-cross-bridge processes and present a summary of data for a wide range of skeletal muscles. It is striking that the cost of Ca(2+) cycling is almost the same, 30-40% of the total cost of isometric contraction, for most muscles studied despite differences in muscle contractile properties, experimental conditions, techniques used to measure energy cost and to partition energy use and in absolute rates of energy use. This fraction increases with temperature for amphibian or fish muscle. Fewer data are available for mammalian muscle but most values are similar to those for amphibian muscle. For mammalian muscles there are no obvious effects of animal size, muscle fibre type or temperature.
