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

The tropomyosin genes (TPM1-4) contribute to the functional diversity of skeletal muscle fibers. Since its discovery in 1988, the TPM3 gene has been recognized as an indispensable regulator of muscle contraction in slow muscle fibers. Recent advances suggest that TPM3 isoforms hold more extensive functions during skeletal muscle development and in postnatal muscle. Additionally, mutations in the TPM3 gene have been associated with the features of congenital myopathies. The use of different in vitro and in vivo model systems has leveraged the discovery of several disease mechanisms associated with TPM3-related myopathy. Yet, the precise mechanisms by which TPM3 mutations lead to muscle dysfunction remain unclear. This review consolidates over three decades of research about the role of TPM3 in skeletal muscle. Overall, the progress made has led to a better understanding of the phenotypic spectrum in patients affected by mutations in this gene. The comprehensive body of work generated over these decades has also laid robust groundwork for capturing the multiple functions this protein plays in muscle fibers.
