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

Disuse of muscle leads to atrophy of the fibers. This atrophy is correlated with reduced transcription. We found that when muscle was denervated or paralyzed with a nerve impulse block, the mRNA for Id-1, a negative regulator of transcription, was increased 2- to 7-fold. To test the effect of high Id-1 levels in active muscles, we made transgenic mice in which Id-1 was overexpressed under control of regulatory elements which confer tissue- and fiber-type-specific expression in differentiated muscle cells. Fiber types with high transgene expression were atrophic compared to those in wild-type litter mates. In contrast, fiber types with low transgene expression displayed hypertrophy, presumably caused by an overload due to reduced strength in atrophic synergistic fibers. Apart from the selective effects on fiber caliber, the muscle tissue showed no signs of pathology, and apart from a characteristic slightly lower body weight, the transgenic animals looked and behaved normally. We suggest that in the mature muscle, Id-1 may be involved in regulating muscle fiber size at the transcriptional level during disuse.
