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

During the last century, it has become clear that mechanical signals play a pivotal role in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass. For instance, numerous studies have shown that an increase in mechanical loading will lead to an increase in muscle mass, and a decrease in mechanical loading will lead to a decrease in muscle mass. These same studies have not only led to the widely adopted terms of "mechanical load-induced growth" and "disuse atrophy," but they have also shaped our understanding of the macroscopic, microscopic, and ultrastructural adaptations that contribute to the changes in muscle mass. These structural adaptations serve as the foundational events via which mechanical signals regulate skeletal muscle mass and, in this chapter, we will explore what is known about these adaptations and pinpoint the critical gaps in knowledge that remain to be filled.
