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 spatio-temporal expression patterns of mRNA transcripts coding for acetylcholine receptor (AChR) subunits and myogenic factors were measured in denervated rat soleus muscle and in soleus muscle chronically paralyzed for up to 12 d by conduction block of the sciatic nerve by tetrodotoxin (TTX). In denervated muscle the AChR alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-subunit mRNAs were elevated with highest expression levels in the former synaptic and the perisynaptic region and with lower levels in the extrasynaptic fiber segments. In muscle paralyzed by nerve conduction block the alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-subunit mRNA levels increased only in extrasynaptic fiber segments. Surprisingly, in the synaptic region the gamma-subunit mRNA that specifies the fetal-type AChR, and alpha-, beta-, delta-subunit mRNAs were not elevated. The expression of the gene encoding the epsilon-subunit, which specifies the adult-type AChR, was always restricted to synaptic nuclei. The mRNA for the regulatory factor myogenin showed after denervation similar changes as the subunit transcripts of the fetal AChR. When the muscle was paralyzed by nerve conduction block the increase of myogenin transcripts was also less pronounced in synaptic regions compared to extrasynaptic fiber segments. The results suggest that in normal soleus muscle a neurotrophic signal from the nerve locally down-regulates the expression of fetal-type AChR channel in the synaptic and perisynaptic muscle membrane by inhibiting the expression of the gamma-subunit gene and that inhibition of the myogenin gene expression may contribute to this down-regulation.
