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

Nutrient supplementation may enhance muscle growth by supporting myogenic activity and regulating metabolic pathways involved in skeletal muscle development. However, the effect of specific nutrient supplementation on satellite cell (SC) activity and muscle-related metabolic pathways remains unclear. Two experiments were conducted to investigate dietary supplements, including guanidinoacetic acid (GAA), 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), and quercetin, on SC proliferation and differentiation in vitro and on muscle growth and transcriptomics in vivo. For the in vitro study, ovine SC were cultured with different levels (0, 12.5, 25, and 50 μmol/L) of 5-HTP, GAA, or quercetin to examine SC proliferation and differentiation. SC proliferation was greater with 5-HTP and quercetin supplementation, whereas GAA increased SC differentiation. Based on these results, 5-HTP and GAA were selected for the in vivo study because they increased proliferation and differentiation, respectively, and had a wider range of dose effectiveness (12.5 and 25 μmol/L). For the in vivo study, Texel lambs (n = 15; 33 ± 6 kg) were blocked by weight and assigned to one of three treatments: control, GAA, or 5-HTP for 28 d. Supplements were administered sublingually at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg body weight daily before feeding. GAA or 5-HTP did not influence (
