Regional differences in length change and electromyographic heterogeneity in sternohyoid muscle during infant mammalian swallowing.

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.
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
A complex sling of muscles moves and stabilizes the hyoid bone during many mammalian behaviors. One muscle in this sling, the sternohyoid, is recruited during food acquisition, processing, and swallowing, and also during nonfeeding behaviors. We used synchronous sonomicrometry and electromyography to investigate regional (intramuscular) changes in length and electromyographic (EMG) activity of the sternohyoid during swallowing in the infant pig. The simple straplike architecture of the sternohyoid led us to hypothesize that limited regional variation in length and muscle activity would be present. We found statistically significant regional differences in EMG activity, and, with respect to length dynamics, the sternohyoid did not behave homogeneously during swallowing. The midbelly region typically shortened while the anterior and posterior regions lengthened, although in a minority of swallows (12.5%) the midbelly lengthened simultaneously with the end-regions. Despite its nonpennate architecture and evolutionarily conservative innervation, the mammalian sternohyoid appears to contain previously unrecognized populations of regionally specialized motor units. It also displays differential contraction patterns, very similar to the sternohyoid of nonmammalian vertebrates.
