Through thick and thin: dual regulation of insect flight muscle and cardiac muscle compared.
Review in Journal of muscle research and cell motility, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Both insect flight muscle and cardiac muscle contract rhythmically, but the way in which repetitive contractions are controlled is different in the two types of muscle. We have compared the flight muscle of the water bug, Lethocerus, with cardiac muscle. Both have relatively high resting elasticity and are activated by an increase in sarcomere length or a quick stretch. The larger response of flight muscle is attributed to the highly ordered lattice of thick and thin filaments and to an isoform of troponin C that has no exchangeable Ca
