Variability in Skeletal Muscle Protein Synthesis Rates in Critically Ill Patients.
Article in Nutrients, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
(1) Background: Muscle protein synthesis in critically ill patients is, on average, normal despite dramatic muscle loss, but the variation is much larger than in controls. Here, we evaluate if this variation is due to 1) heterogeneity in synthesis rates, 2) morphological variation or infiltrating cells, or 3) heterogeneity in the synthesis of different protein fractions. (2) Methods: Muscle biopsies were taken from both legs of critically ill patients (
