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 applied fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy to map the microenvironment of the myosin essential light chain (ELC) in permeabilized skeletal muscle fibers. Four ELC mutants containing a single cysteine residue at different positions in the C-terminal half of the protein (ELC-127, ELC-142, ELC-160, and ELC-180) were generated by site-directed mutagenesis, labeled with 7-diethylamino-3-((((2-iodoacetamido)ethyl)amino)carbonyl)coumarin, and introduced into permeabilized rabbit psoas fibers. Binding to the myosin heavy chain was associated with a large conformational change in the ELC. When the fibers were moved from relaxation to rigor, the fluorescence lifetime increased for all label positions. However, when 1% stretch was applied to the rigor fibers, the lifetime decreased for ELC-127 and ELC-180 but did not change for ELC-142 and ELC-160. The differential change of fluorescence lifetime demonstrates the shift in position of the C-terminal domain of ELC with respect to the heavy chain and reveals specific locations in the lever arm region sensitive to the mechanical strain propagating from the actin-binding site to the lever arm.
