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

Changes in the myosin phenotype of differentiated muscle are a prominent feature of the adaptation of the tissue to a variety of physiological stimuli. In the present study the molecular basis of changes in the proportion of myosin isoenzymes in rat skeletal muscle which occur during compensatory hypertrophy caused by the combined removal of synergist muscles and spontaneous running exercise was investigated. The relative amounts of sarcomeric myosin heavy (MHC)- and light (MLC)-chain mRNAs in the plantaris (fast) and soleus (slow) muscles from rats was assessed with cDNA probes specific for different MHC and MLC genes. Changes in the proportion of specific MHC mRNA levels were in the same direction as, and of similar magnitude to, changes in the proportion of myosin isoenzymes encoded for by the mRNAs. No significant changes in the proportion of MLC proteins or mRNA were detected. However, high levels of MLC3 mRNA were measured in both normal and hypertrophied soleus muscles which contained only trace amounts of MLC3 protein. Small amounts of embryonic and neonatal MHC mRNAs were induced in both muscles during hypertrophy. We conclude that the change in the pattern of myosin isoenzymes during skeletal-muscle adaptation to work overload is a consequence of changes in specific MHC mRNA levels.
