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

Experiments were done on four-week-old rats, containing biochemically verified V1 only, and thyroidectomized adult rats, treated with propylthiouracil, verified to contain V3 only. Contracture tension was induced in isolated papillary muscles either by high potassium solution or 0.5 mmol l-1 Ba2+. Small amplitude length perturbations with peak-to-peak value not exceeding 0.15% L0 were applied to the activated muscle. Both the applied length perturbations and the corresponding resulting force changes were analysed by computer for dynamic stiffness and phase values. In order to reduce data acquisition time, pseudo-random binary noise length changes, rather than the conventional sinusoidal length changes, were used. The plot of the dynamic stiffness against frequency displays a minimum, akin to a resonance phenomenon. The frequency, fmin, at which this resonance occurs, reflects crossbridge kinetics. It was found that the fmin values for the two types of papillary muscles differed by a factor of two. Experiments were also done on chemically skinned muscles containing V1 or V3 isomyosin activated by different concentrations of either barium or calcium ions. It was found that fmin values of skinned fibres were higher than those obtained from intact fibres. However, for each type of muscle the fmin was independent of the activator used as well as the level of activation. The ratio of fmin for V3 to that for V1 remained the same as for intact preparations. We conclude that the difference in mechanical parameters did not arise a possible difference in excitation-contraction coupling mechanism, but rather is a difference in the dynamic properties of the two types of crossbridges.
