Ultrastructural changes in cardiac and skeletal myoblasts following in vitro exposure to monensin, salinomycin, and lasalocid.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Carboxylic ionophores are polyether antibiotics used in production animals as feed additives, with a wide range of benefits. However, ionophore toxicosis often occurs as a result of food mixing errors or extra-label use and primarily targets the cardiac and skeletal muscles of livestock. The ultrastructural changes induced by 48 hours of exposure to 0.1 μM monensin, salinomycin, and lasalocid in cardiac (H9c2) and skeletal (L6) myoblasts in vitro were investigated using transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Ionophore exposure resulted in condensed mitochondria, dilated Golgi apparatus, and cytoplasmic vacuolization which appeared as indentations on the myoblast surface. Ultrastructurally, it appears that both apoptotic and necrotic myoblasts were present after exposure to the ionophores. Apoptotic myoblasts contained condensed chromatin and apoptotic bodies budding from their surface. Necrotic myoblasts had disrupted plasma membranes and damaged cytoplasmic organelles. Of the three ionophores, monensin induced the most alterations in myoblasts of both cell lines.
