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
Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the myosin composition of defined fibre types of three embryologically different adult muscles, the oro-facial, masseter and limb muscles. In addition, the myosin composition in whole muscle specimens was analysed with biochemical methods. Both similarities and differences between muscles in the content of myosin heavy chains and myosin light chains were found. Nevertheless, each muscle had its own distinct identity. Our results indicated the presence of a previously undetected fast myosin heavy chain isoform in the oro-facial type II fibre population, tentatively termed 'fast F'. The masseter contained aberrant myosin isoforms, such as foetal myosin heavy chain and alpha-cardiac myosin heavy chain and unique combinations of myosin heavy chain isoforms which were not found in the limb or oro-facial muscles. The type IM and IIC fibres coexpressed slow and fast A myosin heavy chains in the oro-facial and limb muscles but slow and a fast B like myosin heavy chain in the masseter. While single oro-facial and limb muscle fibres contained one or two myosin heavy chain types, single masseter fibres coexpressed up to four different myosin heavy chain isoforms. Describing the fibres according to their expression of myosin heavy chain isozymes, up to five fibre types could be distinguished in the oro-facial and limb muscles and eight in the masseter. Oro-facial and limb muscles expressed five myosin light chains, MLC1S, MLC2S, MLC1F, MLC2F and MLC3F, and the masseter four, MLC1S, MLC2S, MLC1F, and, in addition, an embryonic myosin light chain, MLC1emb, which is usually not present in normal adult skeletal muscle. These results probably reflect the way the muscles have evolved to meet the specialized functional requirements imposed upon them and are in agreement with the previously proposed concept that jaw and limb muscles belong to two distinct allotypes.
