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

Actomyosin crossbridges (XBs) are the fundamental source of force generation and pressure development in the myocardium. Faster kinetics are imparted on XBs comprised of the fast, α-myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform, whereas slower kinetics are imparted on XBs comprised of the slow, β-MHC isoform. Other factors, such as sarcomere length (SL), influence XB formation, presumably acting through allosteric effects on the kinetics that regulate the XB cycle. We sought to determine whether the slower XB kinetics of β-MHC were more sensitive to such length-dependent effects than those of α-MHC. We studied the SL effects on mechanical properties of demembranated muscle fibers from normal and propylthiouracil-treated mouse hearts, which expressed predominantly α-MHC or β-MHC, respectively. Interestingly, XB detachment kinetics were more length-sensitive in β-MHC fibers, as estimated by tension cost and XB detachment rate constant (c), and as inferred by ktr. The nonlinearity in force responses to various-amplitude step-like changes in muscle length was more pronounced in β-MHC fibers. This phenomenon is attributed to a greater cooperative/allosteric mechanism in β-MHC fibers, as estimated by model parameter γ. These data suggest a mechanism whereby greater cooperative/allosteric effects impart an enhanced length-sensitivity of XB cycling kinetics in fibers containing the slower cycling β-MHC.
