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

Skeletal muscle injuries are widespread in everyday life and sports. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether exposure to mild hyperbaric oxygen (MHO) after muscle injury accelerates recovery. Male 8-week-old mice were injected with 30 μL of 10 μM cardiotoxin (CTX) into the left tibialis anterior (TA) muscle and saline into the right TA muscle. The mice were then divided into a normal control (CON) and an MHO (1.3 atm with 38% oxygen) group. Four weeks after CTX injection, cross-sectional area (CSA) was higher in the CTX + MHO group than in the other groups (P < 0.05). The number of centrally nucleated fibers (%) was 11.5% lower in the CTX + MHO group than in the CTX + CON group (P < 0.05), while it was higher in the CTX groups than in the saline groups regardless of MHO exposure (P < 0.05). MHO exposure had a negative main effect on the number of Pax7-positive nuclei (P < 0.05). MHO accelerated muscle recovery, characterized by a reduced proportion of centrally nucleated fibers and increased cross-sectional area of regenerating muscle fibers.
