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 present study investigated changes in autolysis of three calpain isoforms in skeletal muscles undergoing eccentric contractions (ECC), leading to prolonged force deficits. Rat extensor digitorum longus and tibialis anterior muscles were exposed to 200-repeated ECC in situ, excised immediately after or 3 or 6 days after cessation of ECC, and used for measures of force output and for biochemical analyses. Full restoration of tetanic force in ECC-treated muscles was not attained until 6 days of recovery. Maximal calpain activity determined by a fluorogenic substrate was unaltered immediately after ECC, but increased to 313 and 450 % after 3 and 6 days, respectively. Increases in the amount of autolyzed calpain-3 were apparent immediately and developed progressively with recovery time, whereas elevations of autolyzed μ- and m-calpain occurred after 3 and 6 days, respectively. The protein content was augmented only in m-calpain. It is suggested that the three calpain isoforms may be involved in the dismantling, repair, remodeling and/or regeneration processes in ECC-treated muscles.
