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

Tendons play an important role in the maintenance of motor function by connecting muscles and bones and transmitting forces. Particularly, the role of mechanical stress has primarily focused on the key mechanism of tendon homeostasis, with much research on this topic. With the recent development of molecular biological techniques, the mechanisms of mechanical stress sensing and signal transduction have been gradually elucidated with the identification of mechanosensor in tendon cells and the master regulator in tendon development. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the structure and function of tendon tissue, including the role for physical performance and the detailed mechanism of mechanotransduction in its regulation. An important lesson is that the role of mechanotransduction in tendon tissue is only partially clarified, indicating the complexity of the mechanisms of motor function and fueling increasing interest in uncovering these mechanisms.
