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

introductionEfficient repositioning of centralized nuclei after injury has long been assumed, with centralized nuclei frequently cited as indicators of ongoing regeneration. However, reports of centralized nuclei that persist after full recovery of fiber area and muscle force production call into question the time course of nuclear repositioning.

methodsWe evaluated regeneration after cardiotoxin-induced damage in 10-week-old mice by quantifying intracellular and extracellular pathology at 2 and 94 weeks post-injection.

resultsCentrally nucleated fibers were still prevalent at 94 weeks post-injection, representing > 25% of muscle fibers. Areas with > 90% centrally nucleated fibers could still be identified. Extra-myocellular indicators of regeneration (e.g., fibrosis and fatty infiltration) also remained significantly elevated at the 94-week time-point. DISCUSSION: These findings indicate that not all nuclei are repositioned at the conclusion of induced muscle regeneration. Muscle Nerve 58:858-862, 2018.
