Article in Life science alliance, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Skeletal muscle regeneration involves coordinated activation of an array of signaling pathways. Fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (Fn14) is a bona fide receptor for the TWEAK cytokine. Levels of Fn14 are increased in the skeletal muscle of mice after injury. However, the cell-autonomous role of Fn14 in muscle regeneration remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that global deletion of the Fn14 receptor in mice attenuates muscle regeneration. Conditional ablation of Fn14 in myoblasts but not in differentiated myofibers of mice inhibits skeletal muscle regeneration. Fn14 promotes myoblast fusion without affecting the levels of myogenic regulatory factors in the regenerating muscle. Fn14 deletion in myoblasts hastens initial differentiation but impairs their fusion. The overexpression of Fn14 in myoblasts results in the formation of myotubes having an increased diameter after induction of differentiation. Ablation of Fn14 also reduces the levels of various components of canonical Wnt and calcium signaling both in vitro and in vivo. Forced activation of Wnt signaling rescues fusion defects in Fn14-deficient myoblast cultures. Collectively, our results demonstrate that Fn14-mediated signaling positively regulates myoblast fusion and skeletal muscle regeneration.
