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 super-relaxed (SRX) state of myosin ATPase activity is critical for striated muscle function, and its dysregulation is linked to cardiomyopathies. It is unclear whether the SRX state exchanges readily with the disordered-relaxed (DRX) state and whether the SRX state directly corresponds to the folded back interacting-heads motif. Using recombinant β-cardiac heavy meromyosin and subfragment 1, which cannot form the interacting-heads motif, we show that the SRX and DRX populations transition at a rate substantially faster than the ATP turnover rate, dependent on myosin head-tail interactions. Some mutations which cause hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathies alter the SRX-DRX equilibrium, but not all mutations. The cardiac myosin inhibitor mavacamten slows nucleotide release by an equal factor for both heavy meromyosin and subfragment 1, thus only indirectly influencing the occupancy time of the SRX state. These findings suggest that purified myosins undergo rapid switching between SRX and DRX states, refining our understanding of cardiomyopathy mechanisms.
