Effects of Aging on Intramuscular Collagen-Related Factors After Injury to Mouse Tibialis Anterior Muscle.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. 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
Collagen I is the most abundant type of intramuscular collagen. Lysyl oxidase promotes collagen cross-link formation, which helps stabilize the extracellular matrix. Furthermore, matrix metalloproteinases, responsible for collagen degradation, maintain typical muscle structure and function through remodeling. Although it is well known that aging leads to delayed recovery of muscle fibers, the impact of aging on the remodeling of intramuscular collagen is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the impact of aging on collagen remodeling during muscle injury recovery using young and old mouse models. Muscle injury was induced in the right tibialis anterior (TA) muscle of male C57BL/6J mice [aged 21 weeks (young) and 92 weeks (old)] using intramuscular cardiotoxin injection, with the left TA serving as a sham with saline injection. Following a one-week recovery period, aging was found to delay the recovery of the fiber cross-sectional area. The intensity and area of immunoreactivity for collagen I were significantly increased in old mice compared to young mice post-injury. Additionally,
