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 regulation of a slow muscle gene, the myosin light chain 1 slow/ventricular gene, has been studied by in vivo transfection into regenerating rat skeletal muscle. Constructs containing portions of the myosin light chain 1 slow/ventricular promoter linked to reporter genes were injected into fast and slow muscles 3 days after muscle injury by bupivacaine injection, and reporter gene activity was analysed after 10 days. We report that a sequence in the 5' flanking region of the myosin light chain 1 slow/ventricular gene is able to direct slow muscle-specific regulation of reporter genes, and that the expression of the transgene, like that of the corresponding endogenous gene, is dependent on intact nerve. This study validates the use of regenerating muscle as a model for studying muscle gene regulation and is the first demonstration of a myosin gene promoter regulated by nerve activity.
