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

1. The present study investigates to what extent increases in resistance to fatigue and aerobic oxidative capacity of energy metabolism are correlated in fast-twitch tibialis anterior muscles of rat and rabbit subjected to chronic low-frequency stimulation. 2. Changes in the aerobic oxidative capacity of the stimulated muscles were judged from increases in citrate synthase activity, representing the constant-proportion enzyme group of the citric acid cycle. 3. Resistance to fatigue reached maximal values in both rat and rabbit tibialis anterior muscles after stimulation periods of 14 days, whereas citrate synthase activity continued to increase with longer stimulation periods. 4. Different time courses of the changes in resistance to fatigue and citrate synthase activity were observed not only with prolonged stimulation periods but also during the first week, when pronounced increases in resistance to fatigue were accompanied by only moderate elevations in citrate synthase activity. 5. The dissociation between the changes of the two parameters studied suggests that factors other than elevated aerobic oxidative capacity contribute to enhanced resistance to fatigue.
