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

Myogenic commitment is a decisive and irreversible step in skeletal muscle regeneration, necessitating proliferating myoblasts to integrate metabolic cues with nuclear transcriptional programs. Among amino acids, glutamine is uniquely positioned to influence this transition by coupling energy production to macromolecule biosynthesis and epigenetic regulation. We reasoned that myoblasts must sense glutamine availability to ensure orderly progression toward commitment, and we tested this by examining the molecular consequences of acute glutamine withdrawal. We find that continued glutamine oxidation is required to sustain glycolysis, maintain mitochondrial fission, and preserve a redox balance that supports progression towards myogenic commitment. In its absence, myoblasts undergo a reductive shift, characterized by mitochondrial elongation, membrane depolarization, and suppression of glycolysis, ultimately leading to growth arrest.
