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 biomechanical properties of the tendon are affected due to the changes in composition of the tendon extracellular matrix (ECM). Age, overuse, trauma and metabolic disorders are a few associated conditions that contribute to tendon abnormalities. Hyperlipidemia is one of the leading factors that contribute to the compromised biomechanical. Injury was made on infraspinatus tendon of hyperlipidemic swines. After 8 weeks (i) infraspinatus tendon from the injury site, (ii) infraspinatus tendon from the contralateral side and (iii) Achilles tendon, were collected and analyzed for ECM components that form the major part in biomechanical properties. Immunostaining of infraspinatus tendon on the injury site had higher staining collagen type-1 (COL1A1), biglycan, prolyl 4-hydroxylase and mohawk but lower staining for decorin than the control group. The Achilles tendon of the swines that had injury on infraspinatus tendon showed a chronic adaptation towards load which was evident from a more organized ECM with increased decorin, mohawk and decreased biglycan, scleraxis. The mechanism behind the collagen turnover and chronic adaptation to load need to be studied in detail with the biomechanical properties.
