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

Although the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during muscle contractile activity has been linked to both positive and negative adaptive responses, the sites for ROS generation within working muscle are not clearly defined. We assessed cytosolic ROS production and mitochondrial redox potential with a targeted redox-sensitive green fluorescent protein during repetitive field stimulation of single mature myofibers. Cytosolic ROS production increased by 94%, an effect that was abolished by pretreatment with the reducing agent dithiothreitol. Mitochondrial redox potential was not altered during muscle contraction. In contrast, activity-dependent ROS production was ablated by an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase. We provide the first report on dynamic ROS production from mitochondria in single living myofibers and suggest that the mitochondria are not the major source of ROS during skeletal muscle contraction. Alternatively, our data support a role for NADPH oxidase-derived ROS during contractile activity.
