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 functional recovery of skeletal muscles after peripheral nerve transection and microsurgical repair is generally incomplete. Several reinnervation abnormalities have been described even after nerve reconstruction surgery. Less is known, however, about the regenerative capacity of reinnervated muscles. Previously, we detected remarkable morphological and motor endplate alterations after inducing muscle necrosis and subsequent regeneration in the reinnervated rat soleus muscle. In the present study, we comparatively analyzed the morphometric properties of different fiber populations, as well as the expression pattern of myosin heavy chain isoforms at both immunohistochemical and mRNA levels in reinnervated versus reinnervated-regenerated muscles. A dramatic slow-to-fast fiber type transition was found in reinnervated soleus, and a further change toward the fast phenotype was observed in reinnervated-regenerated muscles. These findings suggest that the (fast) pattern of reinnervation plays a dominant role in the specification of fiber phenotype during regeneration, which can contribute to the long-lasting functional impairment of the reinnervated muscle. Moreover, because the fast II fibers (and selectively, a certain population of the fast IIB fibers) showed better recovery than did the slow type I fibers, the faster phenotype of the reinnervated-regenerated muscle seems to be actively maintained by selective yet undefined cues.
