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

This study investigated the contractile properties of single skeletal muscle fibres from the Vastus lateralis (VL) of two male adult chachma baboons (Papio ursinus) and compared it to that from five male human cyclists. Species comparisons are observational and statistical analyses were not performed due to the low sample size. The histological analyses revealed that the baboon muscles contained more type II fibres than their human counterparts. Cross-sectional areas of type I and type II fibres from human VL were similar in size, whereas baboon type I and type II fibres appeared smaller and larger compared to humans, respectively. On average, type II fibres from baboons and type IIAX fibres from humans produced the highest specific force (88 ± 41 and 155 ± 4 kN/m
