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

Loss of dysferlin (DYSF) protein in humans results in limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2B, characterized by progressive loss of muscles in the distal limbs with impaired locomotion. The DYSF-null (Bla/J) mouse develops severe steatotic muscles upon aging. Here, we report a marked increase in adipocytes, especially in the psoas and gluteus muscles but not in the soleus and tibialis anterior muscles in aged Bla/J mice compared with WT mice. There was a robust upregulation in the mRNA expression of enzymes involved in lipogenesis and triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis pathways in the steatotic skeletal muscles. Lipidomic analysis of the steatotic skeletal muscles revealed an increase in several molecular species of TAG, although it is unclear whether it was at the expense of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine. The adipocytes in steatotic muscles were extramyocellular, as determined by the increased expression of caveolin 1 (a cellular marker for adipocytes) and lipid-droplet protein, perilipin 1. This increase in adipocytes occured as a consequence of the loss of myocytes.
