Dynamic laser light scattering studies of the effects of pyrophosphate on cyclic motions of cross-bridges in isolated thick myofilaments from Limulus striated muscle.
Article in Experientia, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pyrophosphate (PPi) is a non-hydrolyzable ATP analogue known to affect the binding between myosin heads and actin. By using a dynamic laser light scattering method, we have shown that 1-2 mM PPi enhances the increase in gamma values induced by Ca2+ in isolated thick myofilaments from Limulus striated muscle. However, similar treatment has no effect on the gamma values of filaments suspended in either relaxing solution or ATP-free solution. gamma is the average linewidth of the photoelectron count autocorrelation function of the light scattered. PPi had no effect on the increase of gamma values by Sr2+ but it substantially increased the gamma values of the thick myofilaments suspended in Ba(2+)-substituted Ca2+ activating solution. The results show that PPi also affects the energy-requiring cyclic cross-bridge motions.
