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 neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses (Batten disease) are a group of severe neurodegenerative disorders characterized clinically by visual loss, seizures and psychomotor degeneration, and pathologically by loss of neurons and lysosomal accumulation of autofluorescent storage material resembling ageing pigment. To date, eight genetic loci have been identified (CLN1-8). Four CLN genes have been isolated (CLN1, CLN2, CLN3 and CLN5) and their gene products have been characterized. CLN1 is a lysosomal palmitoyl-protein thioesterase (PPT) and CLN2 is a lysosomal pepstatin-insensitive peptidase. CLN3 and CLN5 are proteins with multiple membrane-spanning regions and have no homologies to other proteins that would suggest their function. The CLN3 protein is associated with lysosomal membranes and the intracellular location of the CLN5 protein is unknown. Therefore, there is ample evidence that the neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses represent a new class of lysosomal storage disorders.
