Serum Myostatin among Excessive Drinkers.

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 acts as a negative regulator of muscle growth. Its effect on fat mass is subject to debate. Among alcoholics, there is a high prevalence of muscle atrophy, and increased fat deposition has been also described in these patients. Myostatin could be involved in these alterations, but its relationships with body composition have been scarcely studied in alcoholic patients. To analyze the behavior of myostatin among alcoholics and its relationship with alcohol intake, liver function, and body composition. We investigated serum myostatin in 59 male patients and 18 controls. Patients were all heavy drinkers admitted with organic complications related to excessive ethanol ingestion. Densitometry analysis was used to assess body composition in 46 patients. Handgrip was assessed in 51 patients. Patients showed lower myostatin values than controls (Z = 3.80;
