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

Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are the cellular source for the generation and regeneration of skeletal muscle. Proper muscle growth requires precise control over the differentiation and self-renewal of MuSCs. Signaling systems, such as bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and Notch, suppress the myogenic differentiation of MuSCs. This allows the expansion of the progenitor pool necessary for muscle growth. To better understand the molecular mechanisms and target genes of BMPs during myogenesis, we examined the response of adult mouse MuSCs to BMP6. BMP6 stimulation of freshly isolated MuSCs suppressed myogenic differentiation. Short-term stimulation (one hour) rapidly increased the expression of classical BMP target genes, such as
