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

Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) is a neurodegenerative disorder with somatically altered cholesterol metabolism. The NPC1 gene has recently been cloned and shown to have sequences shared with known sterol-sensing proteins. We have used a mouse model with a disrupted Npc1 gene to study two cholesterol-lowering drugs (nifedipine and probucol) and the effects of introducing a null mutation in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). Although these treatments significantly ameliorated liver cholesterol storage, little effect on the onset of neurological symptoms was found.
