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

Fluorescence microscopy has been used to examine the distribution of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in isolated single fibres from the mouse flexor brevis muscle during fatiguing stimulation. Under control conditions there was a virtually uniform distribution of [Ca2+]i in fura-2 loaded fibres either at rest or during short (0.35 s, 100 Hz) tetani. Fatigue produced by repeated short tetani was accompanied by an early rise, followed by a marked fall, in tetanic [Ca2+]i. Throughout the period of fatiguing stimulation the distribution of [Ca2+]i remained uniform with no detectable gradients observed. In contrast, when fatigue was produced by continuous 100 Hz stimulation, a small gradient of [Ca2+]i developed across the fibre with the [Ca2+]i in the centre of the fibre lower than that at the edge of the fibre. This gradient was apparent after 1.7 s, persisted for at least 11 s and was superimposed on a rise followed by a fall in spatially averaged [Ca2+]i. Reduction of the extracellular Na+ to 50% caused reduced force production and a reduced [Ca2+]i in the centre of the fibre. To assess the contribution of reduced response of the myofibrillar proteins to [Ca2+]i during continuous tetani, the relation between [Ca2+]i and force throughout the long tetanus was compared with that obtained in short, unfatigued tetani. These results show that in long tetani, reduced tetanic [Ca2+]i and reduced responsiveness of the myofibrillar proteins to [Ca2+]i each make important contributions to the decline of force, whereas the gradients of [Ca2+]i make only a small contribution.
