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

Phosphorylation of skeletal myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) occurs in fatigue and may play a role in the inhibition of shortening velocities observed in vivo. Forces and shortening velocities were measured in permeabilized rabbit psoas fibers with either phosphorylated or dephosphorylated RLCs and in the presence or absence of the myosin inhibitor blebbistatin. Addition of 20 microM blebbistatin decreased tensions by approximately 80% in fibers, independent of phosphorylation. In blebbistatin maximal shortening velocities (V(max)) at 30 degrees C, were decreased by 45% (3.2 +/- 0.34 vs. 5.8 +/- 0.18 lengths/s) in phosphorylated fibers but were not inhibited in dephosphorylated fibers (6.0 +/- 0.30 vs. 5.4 +/- 0.30). In the presence of 20 microM blebbistatin, K(m) for V(max) as a function of [ATP] was lower for phosphorylated fibers than for dephosphorylated fibers (50 +/- 20 vs. 330 +/- 84 microM) indicating that the apparent binding of ATP is stronger in these fibers. Phosphorylation of RLC in situ during fiber preparation or by addition of myosin light chain kinase yielded similar data. RLC phosphorylation inhibited velocity in blebbistatin at both 30 and 10 degrees C, unlike previous reports where RLC phosphorylation only affected shortening velocities at higher temperatures.
