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

We have developed a quantitative antibody-based assay to measure the content of skeletal muscle alpha-actin relative to cardiac alpha-actin. We found 21 +/- 2% skeletal muscle alpha-actin content in normal heart muscle of adult man and mouse. In end stage failing heart 53 +/- 5% of striated actin was skeletal muscle alpha-actin and in samples of inter-ventricular septum from patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) skeletal muscle alpha-actin was 72 +/- 2% of sarcomeric actin. Thin filaments containing actin isolated from normal and HOCM heart muscle were functionally indistinguishable when studied by quantitative in vitro motility assay. We also found elevated skeletal muscle alpha-actin (60 +/- 7%) in a mouse model of dilated cardiomyopathy.
