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

Increased expression of forkhead box O (Foxo) transcription factors were reported in cultured myotubes and mouse limb muscle with corticosteroid (CS) treatment. We previously reported that administration of CS to rats resulted in muscle fiber atrophy only by day 7. The aim of this study, therefore, was to evaluate the time-course changes in the expression of Foxo transcription factors and muscle-specific ubiquitin E3 ligases in rat limb muscle following CS administration. Triamcinolone (TRI; 1 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1) im) was administered for 1, 3, or 7 days. Control (CTL) rats were given saline. Muscle mRNA was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR. Compared with CTL, body weights of TRI-treated animals decreased by 3, 12, and 21% at days 1, 3, and 7, respectively. Muscle IGF-1 mRNA levels decreased by 33, 65, and 58% at days 1, 3, and 7 in TRI-treated rats compared with CTL. Levels of phosphorylated Akt were 28, 50, and 36% lower in TRI animals at these time points. Foxo1 mRNA increased progressively by 1.2-, 1.4-, and 2.5-fold at days 1, 3, and 7 in TRI animals. Similar changes were noted in the expression of Foxo3a mRNA (1.3-, 1.4-, and 2.6-fold increments). By contrast, Foxo4 mRNA was not significantly changed in TRI animals. With TRI, muscle atrophy F box/Atrogin-1 increased by 1.8-, 4.1-, and 7.5-fold at days 1, 3, and 7 compared with CTL rats. By contrast, muscle RING finger 1 increased only from day 7 (2.7-fold). Gradual reduction in IGF-I expression with TRI over the time series paralleled that of Akt. These findings are consistent with a progressive stimulus to muscle protein degradation and the need to process/remove disassembled muscle proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Elucidating the dynamic catabolic responses to CS challenge is important in understanding the mechanisms underlying muscle atrophy and therapeutic measures to offset this.
