Physiological and functional characterization for high-throughput optogenetic skeletal muscle exercise assays.
Article in Bioengineering & translational medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Exercise promotes human mobility by tuning the function of skeletal muscle, and recent studies highlight exercise's broader impacts on human health via muscle's paracrine and endocrine roles beyond force generation. In vitro models of tissue engineered skeletal muscle enable precise investigation of adaptation to exercise, with emerging approaches for optogenetic muscle stimulation providing a less invasive alternative to traditional techniques for electrical stimulation. In this study, we present a high-throughput muscle culture and optical exercise protocol for scalable in vitro exercise studies. First, we characterize optical rheobase for 2D muscle monolayers, finding that optical intensities as low as 5 μW mm
