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

It is not known whether a glutamate signaling system is involved in muscle inflammation (myositis). In the present study, we examined this question in the soleus muscle in a laboratory model of myositis resulting from repetitive overuse induced by electrical stimulation and injection of pro-inflammatory substances. Sections of rabbit soleus muscle with an induced myositis, i.e., exhibiting infiltration of inflammatory cells, were examined immunohistochemically using antibodies against vesicular glutamate transporter VGluT2 and the glutamate receptor NMDAR1. In situ hybridization for demonstration of VGluT2 mRNA was also performed. Specific reactions for both VGluT2 and NMDAR1 could be observed immunohistochemically in the same cells. In situ hybridization demonstrated the occurrence of VGluT2 mRNA in the cells. Double staining showed that the VGluT2 reactions were detectable in cells marked with T cell/neutrophil marker and in cells expressing eosinophil peroxidase. These data suggest the occurrence of previously unknown glutamate-mediated autocrine/paracrine effects within the inflammatory infiltrates during the development of muscle inflammation.
