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 investigated the efficiency of a single plasmid transfection along the longitudinal axis of the regenerating soleus of young rats. This also reflected transfection efficiency along the fibers because the soleus is a nearly fusiform muscle in young animals. The complete regeneration was induced by notexin and the transfection was made by intramuscular injection of enhanced green fluorescent protein- or Discosoma red-coding plasmids after 4 days. One week after transfection the number of transfected fibers was higher at the place of injection (i.e., in the muscle belly) and lower or absent at the ends of the muscle. The inspection of longitudinal sections and neuromuscular endplates indicated that one of the reasons of uneven transfection might be the shortness of transfected myotubes and the other reason might be the limit of diffusion of transgenic proteins from the expressing nuclei. As a result, the efficiency of transfection in the whole regenerating muscle was much lower than it could be estimated from the most successfully transfected part.
