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

Tetranectin (TN) is a plasminogen-binding protein found in human serum. Although it has been suggested to be closely related to various stem cell differentiation, including myogenesis, the role of TN in muscle development remains unclear. In this study, we identified TN as an anti-myogenic factor during the differentiation of C2C12 satellite cells. The exogenous supplementation of TN inhibited myogenic differentiation, whereas differentiation was significantly enhanced in the TN-depleted medium. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a catechin abundant in green tea, significantly enhanced myogenic differentiation by reducing TN levels in the medium and downregulating TN gene expression during the differentiation process. These results demonstrate that EGCG promotes myogenesis by inhibiting TN at both the transcriptional and functional levels, highlighting TN as a promising therapeutic target for muscle regeneration disorders.
