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

In this work, the feasibility of ultrasound elastography to evaluate age-related muscle atrophy is investigated. Ultrasound elastography is used to assess muscle stiffness alterations of bovine shoulder samples during aging treatment. Of particular interest is to investigate the decrease in muscle stiffness due to two potential reasons: (1) decrease in collagen fibers; and (2) mechanical breakdown of the muscle fascia (the soft tissue component of connective tissue surrounding muscle). Two methods of aging treatments are employed: (1) chemical treatment, and (2) percussion treatment. Areas of the bovine shoulder samples studied were the triceps brachii and infraspinatus. The chemically treated bovine samples demonstrated significant alterations in muscle stiffness under ultrasound in comparison to percussive treatment. The significance of these results will be discussed.
