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

While the existence of post-hatch and adult myosin heavy chain isoforms in the large, avian type IIB pectoralis major muscle has been clearly established, the number and nature of fast myosin heavy chains during in ovo development and the perihatch period have not been resolved. In the present study, developmental fast heavy chain proteins purified by high resolution anion-exchange have been characterized by sequence analysis of a unique CNBr peptide and by complementary mRNA analysis. The four proteins present at 15/16 days in ovo are shown to differ uniquely in primary structure. They correlate with heavy chains II, IV, VI and VII, characterized recently as major or minor species in adult fast muscles using similar methods. These four heavy chains are expressed in a time-dependent fashion from 8 to 16 days in ovo. At the mRNA level, heavy chain VI predominates until 12 days in ovo. Heavy chain IV mRNA is upregulated dramatically at 16 days in ovo preparatory to its protein's predominance in the peri-hatch period. Heavy chains II, IV and V (the post-hatch isoform which replaces heavy chain IV) have major roles in adult fast muscles.
