Talin at myotendinous junctions.
Article in The Journal of cell biology, 1986. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers.
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.
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
Junctions formed by skeletal muscles where they adhere to tendons, called myotendinous junctions, are sites of tight adhesion and where forces generated by the cell are placed on the substratum. In this regard, myotendinous junctions and focal contacts of fibroblasts in vitro are analogues. Talin is a protein located at focal contacts that may be involved in force transmission from actin filaments to the plasma membrane. This study investigates whether talin is also found at myotendinous junctions. Protein separations on SDS polyacrylamide gels and immunolabeling procedures show that talin is present in skeletal muscle. Immunofluorescence microscopy using anti-talin indicates that talin is found concentrated at myotendinous junctions and in lesser amounts in periodic bands over nonjunctional regions. Electron microscopic immunolabeling shows talin is a component of the digitlike processes of muscle cells that extend into tendons at myotendinous junctions. These findings indicate that there may be similarities in the molecular composition of focal contacts and myotendinous junctions in addition to functional analogies.
