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 mechanism underlying the calcium sensitivity of the velocity of shortening of skeletal muscle fibers was investigated using a multiple shortening protocol: within a single contraction, skinned rabbit psoas fibers were made to shorten repetitively under a light load by briefly stretching back to their initial length at regular intervals. At saturating [Ca2+], the initial fast shortening pattern was repeated reproducibly. At submaximal [Ca2+], the first shortening consisted of fast and slow phases, but only the slow phase was observed in later shortenings. When the fibers were held isometric after the first shortening, the velocity of the second shortening recovered with time. The recovery paralleled tension redevelopment, implying a close relationship between the velocity and the number of the preexisting force-producing cross-bridges. However, this parallelism was lost as [Ca2+] was increased. Thus, the velocity was modified in a manner consistent with the cooperative thin filament activation by strong binding cross-bridges and its modulation by calcium. The present results therefore provide evidence that the thin filament cooperativity is primarily responsible for the calcium sensitivity of velocity. The effect of inorganic phosphate to accelerate the slow phase of shortening is also explained in terms of the cooperative activation.
