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

Myosin has an intrinsic ability to organize into ordered thick filaments that mediate muscle contraction. Here, we use surface plasmon resonance and light scattering analysis to further characterize the molecular determinants that guide myosin filament assembly. Both assays identify a cluster of lysine and arginine residues as important for myosin polymerization in vitro. Moreover, in cardiomyocytes, replacement of these charged residues by alanine severely affects the incorporation of myosin into the distal ends of the sarcomere. Our findings show that a novel assembly element with a distinct charge profile is present at the C-terminus of sarcomeric myosins.
