Meeting report: the inaugural muscle biology and cachexia conference at the University of Houston, May 18-20, 2025, Houston, Texas, USA.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
In May 2025, the University of Houston (UH) hosted the inaugural Muscle Biology and Cachexia conference, organized by Drs. Ashok Kumar and Radbod Darabi. The conference attracted nearly 300 participants, including established scientists, early-career researchers, and students from across the United States, Canada, Italy, Singapore, and Turkey. Research was presented through a combination of oral presentations and poster sessions. The conference was driven by the increasing interest in skeletal and cardiac muscle biology and cancer cachexia among institutions at the Texas Medical Center and surrounding universities. It served as a platform to promote knowledge exchange and foster collaboration within this growing scientific community. The conference was supported by the UH College of Pharmacy (UHCOP), Division of Research (DOR), Drug Discovery Institute (DDI), and the Department of Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences (PPS). In conjunction with the conference, UH announced the formation of the Institute of Muscle Biology and Cachexia (IMBC). The IMBC aims to strengthen collaborative research efforts and enhance understanding of the molecular and signaling pathways that regulate muscle physiology and disease.
