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

Skeletal muscle undergoes marked functional decay during aging in humans, but the cell biological mechanisms responsible for this process are only partly known. Age-related muscle dysfunction is also a feature of aging in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Here we describe a detailed step-by-step protocol, which takes place over 3 d, for whole-mount immunostaining of Drosophila flight muscle. The skeletal muscle is fixed and permeabilized without any tissue freezing and dehydration so that antigens are accessible for staining with appropriate antibodies and the overall tissue ultrastructure is well preserved. This technique can be used to identify age-related cellular changes driving skeletal muscle aging and for characterizing models of human muscle disease in Drosophila.
