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 extent and nature of fast troponin T (TnT) heterogeneity has been assessed in rabbit skeletal muscle. Previous studies identified two major fast TnT species (TnT1f and TnT2f), in the fast white muscle erector spinae, differing in their N-terminal cyanogen bromide (CNBr) fragments. Here a monoclonal antibody that recognizes a conserved region of TnT was used to characterize two additional TnT species (TnT3f and TnT4f) in the epaxial and limb musculature and a minor species (TnTcf) in craniofacial muscles. A combination of CNBr peptide mapping, immunoblotting and specific labelling of the N-terminus shows that these TnT species also differ in their N-terminal region. This observation is consistent with cDNA studies that predicted the N-terminal region is hypervariable. One additional species, a variant of TnT2f present in the tongue, was identified by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The limited number of TnT variants indicates that the full potential for heterogeneity inferred from the cDNA studies is not realized. This conclusion is supported by immunoblot analysis with a monoclonal antibody that recognizes an epitope in the hypervariable N-terminal region which is present in all variants of TnT1f and TnT2f but absent from the lower molecular weight species TnT3f and TnT4f.
