Immunohistochemical analysis of myosin heavy chain expression in laryngeal muscles of the rabbit, cat, and baboon.

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
We studied myosin heavy chain (MyHC) expression and fiber type distribution in laryngeal muscles in the rabbit, cat, and baboon using immunohistochemistry with highly MyHC-specific antibodies. Two types of variation in MyHC expression were found: between muscles of different function within species and within specific muscles between species. Within species, thyroarytenoid (Ta), an adductor, had faster MyHCs and fiber type profiles than the abductor, posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA), which expressed faster MyHCs than the vocal fold tensor, cricothyroid (CT). Between species, laryngeal muscles generally expressed faster MyHCs in small animals than in larger ones: extraocular (EO) MyHC was expressed in the Ta and PCA of the rabbit but not in the cat and baboon, whereas 2B MyHC was expressed in these muscles of the cat but not of the baboon. The CT expressed only MyHC isoforms and fiber types found in the limb muscles of the same species. These results are discussed in light of the hypothesis that the between-species variations in laryngeal muscle fiber types are evolutionary adaptations in response to changes in body mass and respiratory frequency. Within-species variations in fiber types ensure that protective closure of the glottis is always faster than movements regulating airflow during respiration.
