Esophageal striated muscle hypertrophy and muscle fiber type transformation in MSTN knockout pigs.
Article in Transgenic research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Myostatin (MSTN) is a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily that inhibits skeletal muscle growth and development. The esophagus is composed of skeletal muscle and smooth muscle, but the effect of MSTN on esophagus striated muscle (ESM) is unknown. The present study investigated the role of MSTN in ESM using MSTN mutant pigs through histological, gene and protein expression analysis in ESM of MSTN knockout (MSTN
