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

Hibernation is an energy-saving adaptation associated with physical inactivity. In contrast to most mammals, hibernating bears demonstrate limited loss of muscle mass and protein content over the prolonged periods of immobility and fasting during winter. This suggests that bears have natural adaptive mechanisms preserving muscle mass and functionality. To identify transcriptional changes that underlie molecular mechanisms attenuating muscle loss, we conducted a large-scale gene expression profiling (14,199 genes) by transcriptome sequencing in the quadriceps femoris of adult black bears, comparing hibernating animals (
