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

Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is defined as the loss of skeletal muscle tissue which exceeds the body's repair capabilities leading to sustained functional deficits over time. Some etiologies leading to VML include traumatic injuries, congenital diseases, and degenerative myopathies. Currently, the lack of standardized animal models prevents an appropriate estimation of the severity of injury capable of exceeding self-regeneration. Recent work in our laboratory has shown that a 30% VML does not create a sustained functional loss in rats after 3 months. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the percentage threshold of muscle loss that results in permanent functional deficits. We surgically created models of 30, 40, and 50% VML injuries in the tibialis anterior (TA) of rats, and subsequently evaluated TA function and structure after a 90-day recovery period. TA muscle force production was measured
