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

Impaired skeletal muscle energy metabolism is linked to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in type 2 diabetes. The contractile and metabolic properties of myofibers exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity and plasticity. The regulatory circuitry underpinning skeletal muscle energy metabolism is critically linked to exercise endurance and systemic homeostasis. Recent work has identified the Baf60 subunits of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex as powerful regulators of the metabolic gene programs. However, their role in integrating myofiber energy metabolism with exercise endurance and metabolic physiology remains largely unknown. In this study, we conditionally inactivated Baf60a, Baf60c, or both in mature skeletal myocytes to delineate their contribution to muscle bioenergetics and metabolic physiology. Our work revealed functional redundancy between Baf60a and Baf60c in maintaining oxidative and glycolytic metabolism in skeletal myofibers and exercise endurance. Unexpectedly, mice lacking these two factors in skeletal muscle were protected from diet-induced and age-associated metabolic disorders. Transcriptional profiling analysis identified the muscle thermogenic gene program and myokine secretion as key pathways that integrate myofiber metabolism with systemic energy balance. As such, Baf60 deficiency in skeletal muscle illustrates a surprising disconnect between exercise endurance and systemic metabolic homeostasis.
