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

Studies exploring the rate of fatigue in isolated muscle at 37 degrees C have produced mixed results. In the present study, muscle fibre bundles from the mouse foot were used to study the effect of temperature on the rate of muscle fatigue. Provided iron was excluded from the solutions, time to fatigue at 37 degrees C was increased compared to 22 degrees C (125 +/- 8% of 22 degrees C fatigue time). In contrast, when iron was present (approximately 1 microM), fatigue was accelerated (68 +/- 10%). Iron can increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are believed to accelerate fatigue. The addition of 25-100 microM H(2)O(2) at 22 degrees C reduced time to fatigue to 80-20% of the control, respectively. Iron was added to cultured primary skeletal muscle cells to determine if iron could increase ROS production. Neither iron entry nor ROS production were detected in non-contracting muscle cells. The addition of 8-hydroxyquinoline, which facilitates iron entry, to iron-ascorbic acid solutions caused a rapid rise in intracellular iron and ROS. Our results indicate that time to fatigue in vitro is increased at 37 degrees C relative to 22 degrees C, but the addition of ROS can accelerate fatigue. An increase in muscle iron can accelerate ROS production, which may be important during or following exercise and in haemochromatosis, disuse atrophy and sarcopenia.
