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 skeletal muscle contractile machine is fueled by both calcium and ATP. Calcium ions activate the contractile machinery by binding to troponin C and relieving troponin-tropomyosin inhibition of actinomyosin interaction. ATP binding to myosin during the contractile cycle results in myosin detachment from actin, and energy liberated from subsequent ATP hydrolysis is then used to drive the next contractile cycle. ATP is also used to lower myoplasmic calcium levels during muscle relaxation. Thus, muscle contractility is intimately linked to the proper control of sarcomeric Ca2+ delivery and (or) removal and ATP generation and (or) utilization. In skeletal muscle, the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is the primary regulator of calcium storage, release, and reuptake, while glycolysis and the mitochondria are responsible for cellular ATP production. However, the SR and mitochondrial function in muscle are not independent, as calcium uptake into the mitochondria increases ATP production by stimulating oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial ATP production, and production and (or) detoxification of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), in turn, modulates SR calcium release and reuptake. Close spatial Ca2+/ATP/ROS/RNS communication between the SR and mitochondria is facilitated by the structural attachment of mitochondria to the calcium release unit (CRU) by 10 nm of electron-dense tethers. The resultant anchoring of mitochondria to the CRU provides a structural basis for maintaining bidirectional SR-mitochondrial through-space communication during vigorous contraction. This review will consider the degree to which this structural link enables privileged or microdomain communication between the SR and mitochondria in skeletal muscle.
