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

Two of the most characteristic features of striated muscle are (i) its ability to contract and generate tension when activated and (ii) its ability to return to its original length and form after contraction or stretching ceases. These two properties are to a large extent the primary manifestations of separate sets of filament systems: contractile actin and myosin filaments and viscoelastic titin and intermediate filaments. Z bands function as a common link that mechanically integrates contractile and elastic elements and as such they play a fundamental role in transmission of active and passive forces. Differences in Z band structure have been described for distinct classes of muscle and fibre types. The diversity in Z band architecture has been built around its phylogenetically conserved role as an actin-anchoring structure. Novel proteins are likely to account for structural and functional differences seen across the phyla.
