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

Small angle X-ray fiber diffraction is the method of choice for obtaining molecular level structural information from striated muscle fibers under hydrated physiological conditions. For many decades this technique had been used primarily for investigating basic biophysical questions regarding muscle contraction and regulation and its use confined to a relatively small group of expert practitioners. Over the last 20 years, however, X-ray diffraction has emerged as an important tool for investigating the structural consequences of cardiac and skeletal myopathies. In this review we show how simple and straightforward measurements, accessible to non-experts, can be used to extract biophysical parameters that can help explain and characterize the physiology and pathology of a given experimental system. We provide a comprehensive guide to the range of the kinds of measurements that can be made and illustrate how they have been used to provide insights into the structural basis of pathology in a comprehensive review of the literature. We also show how these kinds of measurements can inform current controversies and indicate some future directions.
