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

The right extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle of growing male rats was overloaded by ablation of its synergist tibialis anterior (TA) muscle. Four weeks later, the overloaded muscle was heavier and contained larger type IIA, IIX and IIB fibres than either untreated contralateral muscle or control muscle from an untreated animal. The myonuclear-to-myoplasmic volume ratio was maintained in the overloaded muscle. Overloaded EDL muscle, previously subjected to a dose of irradiation sufficient to sterilise satellite cells, and EDL muscle which had been only irradiated, were significantly lighter and contained significantly smaller fibres than controls, though a significant amount of normal EDL muscle growth did occur following either treatment. The myonuclear-to-myoplasmic volume ratio of the irradiated muscles was smaller than in controls. Overloaded muscle, with or without prior irradiation, possessed a smaller proportion of fibres containing IIB myosin heavy chain (MHC) and a larger proportion of fibres containing IIA and IIX MHC; a significant percentage of these fibres coexpressed either type IIA and IIX MHC or type IIX and IIB MHC. Thus in the absence of satellite cell mitosis, muscles of young rats possess a limited capacity for normal growth but not for compensatory hypertrophy. Adaptations in MHC gene expression to chronic overload are completely independent of satellite cell activity.
