Tongue muscle contractile, fatigue, and fiber type properties in rats.

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
The intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles manipulate the position and shape of the tongue and are activated during many oral and respiratory behaviors. In the present study, in 6-mo-old Fischer 344 rats, we examined mechanical and fatigue properties of tongue muscles in relation to their fiber type composition. In an ex vivo preparation, isometric force and fatigue was assessed by direct muscle stimulation. Tongue muscles were frozen in melting isopentane and transverse sections cut at 10 µm. In hematoxylin-eosin (H&E)-stained muscle sections, the relative fractions of muscle versus extracellular matrix were determined. Muscle fibers were classified as type I, IIa and IIx, and/or IIb based on immunoreactivity to specific myosin heavy chain isoform antibodies. Cross-sectional areas (CSAs) and proportions of different fiber types were used to calculate their relative contribution to total muscle CSAs. We found that the superior and inferior longitudinal intrinsic muscles (4.4 N/cm
