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

The specific heat capacity of skinned muscle in an adhering rigor solution was studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) heating runs to search for a heat sink in the sarcomere of the muscle. To elucidate the contribution of major myoproteins to heat capacity, myosin and actin were partially removed by high-KCl and gelsolin treatments, respectively. Differential heat denaturation of myosin (together with α-actinin) and actin was induced to confirm their contributions. On the DSC curve, aside from the endothermic peaks representing ice melting and protein denaturation, the steady baseline level showed a significant increase in basal heat capacity in the presence of skinned muscle compared to the rigor solution alone. In the physiological temperature range from 10 to 25 °C, untreated skinned muscle in the native state (non-denatured) introduced an extra basal heat capacity of 0.4 J K
