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

This work uses cross-innervation of respiratory muscles of different developmental origins to probe myogenic and neurogenic mechanisms regulating their fiber types. The thyroarytenoid (TA) originates from the sixth branchial arch, whereas the sternohyoid (SH) is derived from somitic mesoderm. Immunohistochemical analysis using highly specific monoclonal antibodies to myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms reveals that normal rat SH comprises slow, 2a, 2x, and 2b fibers, as in limb fast muscles, whereas the external division of the TA has only 2b/eo fibers coexpressing 2B and extraocular (EO) MyHCs. Twelve weeks after cross-innervation with the recurrent laryngeal nerve, the SH retained slow and 2a fibers, greatly increased the proportion of 2x fibers, and their 2b fibers failed to express EO MyHC. In the cross-innervated TA, the SH nerve failed to induce slow and 2A MyHC expression and failed to suppress EO MyHC expression in 2b/eo fibers. However, 2x fibers amounting to 4.2% appeared de novo in the external division of the TA. We conclude that although MyHC gene expression in these muscles can be modulated by neural activity, the patterns of response to altered innervation are largely myogenically determined, thus supporting the idea that SH and TA differ in muscle allotype.
