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

The actomyosin interaction plays a key role in a number of cellular functions. Single-molecule measurement techniques have been developed to study the mechanism of the actomyosin contractile system. However, the behavior of isolated single molecules does not always reflect that of molecules in a complex system such as a muscle fiber. Here, we developed a simple method for studying the kinetic parameters of the actomyosin interaction using small numbers of molecules. This approach does not require the specialized equipment needed for single-molecule measurements, and permits us to observe behavior that is more similar to that of a complex system. Using an in vitro motility assay, we examined the duration of continuous sliding of actin filaments on a sparsely distributed heavy meromyosin-coated surface. To estimate the association rate constant of the actomyosin motile system, we compared the distribution of experimentally obtained duration times with a computationally simulated distribution. We found that the association rate constant depends on the sliding velocity of the actin filaments. This technique may be used to reveal new aspects of the kinetics of various motor proteins in complex systems.
