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

Pigs are important agricultural animals whose growth rate and meat production performance are related to muscle development. Musculoskeletal embryonic nuclear protein 1 (MUSTN1) participates in various biological processes, including myogenesis and growth in animals, but the physiological functions and mechanisms of porcine MUSTN1 on muscle development are unclear; thus, we aimed to elucidate them. We found that MUSTN1 was highly expressed in the muscles of fast-growing pigs. Functionally, MUSTN1 promoted myoblast proliferation and differentiation. MUSTN1 knockout mice exhibited reduced muscle mass and fibre cross-sectional area, decreased exercise endurance, and delayed muscle regeneration. Small muscle protein X-linked (SMPX) was identified as an interacting protein of MUSTN1, and its promotion of myogenic differentiation depended on MUSTN1. Furthermore, MUSTN1 stabilised SMPX and maintained myofiber morphology. This study suggests that MUSTN1 is a critical regulator in the control of muscle development and regeneration and is a potential target for animal genetic improvement and the treatment of human muscle disease.
