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

Three-dimensional engineered muscle tissues (EMTs) are transformative tools for modeling skeletal muscle physiology and pathology in vitro. Here, we perform a comprehensive comparison of EMTs derived from primary human myoblasts (hP-Myo) and hiPS-derived myoblasts (hiPS-Myo) to evaluate their structural, functional, and transcriptional characteristics. Contractile performance was quantified using a magnetic force-sensing platform, revealing that hP-Myo EMTs generate ~2 fold higher twitch forces and enhanced tetanic responses compared to hiPS-Myo EMTs. Tissue architecture and maturation were assessed and demonstrated significant larger myofiber diameters in hP-Myo EMTs. Transcriptomic profiling highlighted that hP-Myo EMTs maintain a mature skeletal muscle-like signature, marked by enriched pathways linked to sarcomere organization and fast-/slow-twitch fiber specification. To model metabolic dysfunction, hiPS-Myo EMTs were subjected to lipid overload, recapitulating hallmarks of intracellular lipid (IMCL) accumulation, including impaired contractility, blunted force-frequency responses, and dysregulated lipid metabolism genes.
