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

Heart glycogen represents a store of glucosyl residues which are mobilized by the catalysis of glycogen phosphorylase (GP) and are mainly destined to serve as substrates for the generation of ATP. The brain isoform of GP (GP BB) was studied in rat heart in comparison with the muscle isoform (GP MM) to find functional analogies to the brain. Western blotting and quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) experiments revealed that at the protein level, but not at the mRNA level, the content of GP BB is similar in heart and brain. In contrast, GP MM is more abundant in the heart than in the brain. Immunocytochemically GP BB was colocalized with GP MM in cardiomyocytes. GP MM was also detected in interstitial cells identified as fibroblasts. The physiological role of co-expression of GP BB and GP MM in cardiomyocytes and in brain astrocytes is discussed in a comparative way.
