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

Invertebrate mini-titins are members of a class of myosin-binding proteins belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily that may have structural and/or regulatory properties. We have isolated mini-titins from three molluscan sources: the striated and smooth adductor muscles of the scallop, and the smooth catch muscles of the mussel. Electron microscopy reveals flexible rod-like molecules about 0.2 micron long and 30 A wide with a distinctive polarity. Antibodies to scallop mini-titin label the A-band and especially the A/I junction of scallop striated muscle myofibrils by indirect immunofluorescence and immuno-electron microscopy. This antibody crossreacts with mini-titins in scallop smooth and Mytilus catch muscles, as well as with proteins in striated muscles from Limulus, Lethocerus (asynchronous flight muscle), and crayfish. It labels the A/I junction (I-region in Lethocerus) in these striated muscles as well as in chicken skeletal muscle. Antibodies to the repetitive immunoglobulin-like regions and also to the kinase domain of nematode twitchin crossreact with scallop mini-titin and label the A-band of scallop myofibrils. Electron microscopy of single molecules shows that antibodies to twitchin kinase bind to scallop mini-titin near one end of the molecule, suggesting how the scallop structure might be aligned with the sequence of nematode twitchin.
