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 compared the contractile performance of papillary muscle from a mouse model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [α-cardiac actin (ACTC) E99K mutation] with nontransgenic (non-TG) littermates. In isometric twitches, ACTC E99K papillary muscle produced three to four times greater force than non-TG muscle under the same conditions independent of stimulation frequency and temperature, whereas maximum isometric force in myofibrils from these muscles was not significantly different. ACTC E99K muscle relaxed slower than non-TG muscle in both papillary muscle (1.4×) and myofibrils (1.7×), whereas the rate of force development after stimulation was the same as non-TG muscle for both electrical stimulation in intact muscle and after a Ca²⁺ jump in myofibrils. The EC₅₀ for Ca²⁺ activation of force in myofibrils was 0.39 ± 0.33 μmol/l in ACTC E99K myofibrils and 0.80 ± 0.11 μmol/l in non-TG myofibrils. There were no significant differences in the amplitude and time course of the Ca²⁺ transient in myocytes from ACTC E99K and non-TG mice. We conclude that hypercontractility is caused by higher myofibrillar Ca²⁺ sensitivity in ACTC E99K muscles. Measurement of the energy (work + heat) released in actively cycling heart muscle showed that for both genotypes, the amount of energy turnover increased with work done but with decreasing efficiency as energy turnover increased. Thus, ACTC E99K mouse heart muscle produced on average 3.3-fold more work than non-TG muscle, and the cost in terms of energy turnover was disproportionately higher than in non-TG muscles. Efficiency for ACTC E99K muscle was in the range of 11-16% and for non-TG muscle was 15-18%.
