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

Sine oculis homeobox 1 (Six1) homeodomain transcription factor is implicated in the genesis of muscle fiber type diversity, but its regulatory mechanisms on the formation of muscle fiber type are still poorly understood. To elucidate the biological roles of Six1 gene in muscle fiber formation, we established C2C12 cell line overexpressing Six1 and determined the effects of forced Six1 expression on muscle-specific genes expression, cell proliferation, and cell cycles. Our results indicated that Six1 overexpression could significantly promote the expression of fast-type muscle genes Atp2a1, Srl, and Mylpf. Furthermore, Six1 overexpressing C2C12 cells displayed a relative lower proliferative potential, and cell cycle analysis showed that Six1 exerted its role in cell cycle primarily through the regulation of G1/S and G2/M phases. In conclusion, Six1 plays an essential role in modulation of the fast-twitch muscle fiber phenotype through up-regulating fast-type muscle genes expression, and it could suppress the proliferation of muscle cells.
