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

Smooth muscles have traditionally been classified as phasic or tonic, the tonic muscles being those which maintain a steady tension indefinitely with a low consumption of energy. Until ten years ago it was considered that the differences between smooth muscle types reflected different innervation or excitation-contraction coupling. However, recent work makes it clear that the contractile apparatus itself is adapted in tonic muscles.
