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

We compare steps observed during the fibrillogenesis of myofibrils with the sequence of steps predictable by a recent analysis of the structurization and functioning of striated muscles. The predicted assembly steps are based solely on fundamental equilibrium processes, particularly supramolecular interactions and liquid crystalline alignment of the rigid thick and thin filaments hosted within the sarcomer. Satisfactory agreement is obtained between several of the observed and the predicted fibrillogenesis steps. In several cases, however, the actual steps appear to be more complex than expected, evidencing the occurrence of transport and kinetic pathways that may assist the attainment of the equilibrium structure. The memory of the order of a precursor mesophase is imprinted during the remodeling of the surfaces at which the two sets of filaments are anchored. The relevance of the present analysis to the functioning of the myofibril is considered.
