Bcl-2 overexpression does not protect neurons from mutant neurofilament-mediated motor neuron degeneration.
Article in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Transgenic mice with a point mutation in the light neurofilament gene develop amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-like motor neuron disease characterized by selective spinal motor neuron loss, neurofilamentous accumulations, and severe muscle atrophy. To test whether the large motor neurons at risk in this disease could be protected from mutant neurofilament-mediated killing, these mice were bred to mice overexpressing the human Bcl-2 proto-oncogene. Elevated levels of Bcl-2 increased the numbers of motor and sensory axons surviving after the developmental period of naturally occurring cell death but did not greatly reduce the number of degenerating axons or protect the large motor neurons from mutant neurofilament-mediated death.
