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

To improve muscle healing upon injury, it is of importance to understand the interplay of key signaling pathways during muscle regeneration. To study this, mice were injected with cardiotoxin (CTX) or PBS in the Tibialis Anterior muscle and were sacrificed 2, 5 and 12 days upon injection. The time points represent different phases of the regeneration process, i.e. destruction, repair and remodeling, respectively. Two days upon CTX-injection, p-mTORC1 signaling and stress markers such as BiP and p-ERK1/2 were upregulated. Phospho-ERK1/2 and p-mTORC1 peaked at d5, while BiP expression decreased towards PBS levels. Phospho-FOXO decreased 2 and 5 days following CTX-injection, indicative of an increase in catabolic signaling. Furthermore, CTX-injection induced a shift in the fiber type composition, characterized by an initial loss in type IIa fibers at d2 and at d5. At d5, new type IIb fibers appeared, whereas type IIa fibers were recovered at d12. To conclude, CTX-injection severely affected key modulators of muscle metabolism and histology. These data provide useful information for the development of strategies that aim to improve muscle molecular signaling and thereby recovery.
