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

Muscle differentiation was studied in foetal Semitendinosus muscle from normal cattle and those with the 'culard' gene of muscular hypertrophy sampled at 90, 130, 170 and 210 days of foetal life. The different fibre types were characterized by immunohistochemistry with antibodies specific to different isoforms of myosin heavy chains. The isoforms were separated by electrophoresis, identified by immunoblotting and quantified by ELISA. In double-muscled animals, there was a slower rate of differentiation in the first generation of cells, most markedly apparent at 90 days. At 130 days, differentiation was retarded mainly in the second generation, while at 170 days there was no longer any difference between the two animal types in the differentiation of first generation cells, which were totally slow in both. At the same stage however, type IIC fibres in double-muscled animals were much slower in appearing and continued to be so at 210 days, albeit to a lesser extent. These findings show that differentiation of the muscle fibres occurs at a slower rate in double-muscled foetuses particularly during the first two-thirds of foetal life.
