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 insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) have dramatic and complex effects on the growth of many tissues and have been implicated in both the proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle cells. A detailed analysis of gene expression was performed in L6E9 myoblast cultures treated with IGF-I to dissect the early events leading to the stimulation of myogenic differentiation by this growth factor. A time course of transcript accumulation in confluent L6E9 myoblasts treated with defined media containing IGF-I revealed an initial transient decrease in myogenic factors, accompanied by an increase in cell cycle markers and cell proliferation. This pattern was reversed at later time points, when the subsequent activation of myogenic factors resulted in a net increase in structural gene expression and larger myotubes. The data presented here support the hypothesis that IGF-I activates proliferation first, and subsequently stimulates events leading to the expression of muscle-specific genes in myogenic cell cultures.
