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

Hereditary tyrosinaemia type I (HT 1) (McKusick 276700) is caused by a deficiency of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) activity, the last enzyme in the tyrosine catabolic pathway. Homozygous disruption of the gene encoding FAH in mice (Fah) causes neonatal lethality (i.e. lethal Albino deletion c14CoS mice), which limits the use of this animal as a model for HT I. We developed a new mouse model that carries two genetic defects, Fah and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (Hpd). The double mutant Fah -/- Hpd -/- mice grew normally without evidence of liver and renal disease, showing a phenotype similar to Hpd -/- mice. Complete blockage of the tyrosine catabolic pathway at the, step of HPD prevents development of clinical phenotypes. Administration of homogentisate resulted in rapid apoptosis of hepatocytes and renal tubular epithelial cells, a central feature of visceral injury in patients with HT I. Simultaneously, renal tubular function was impaired, resulting in Fanconi syndrome. Apoptosis of hepatocyte and renal tubular cells is prevented by the caspase inhibitors YVAD or DEVD. However, these inhibitors do not prevent the release of cytochrome c or the development of renal tubular dysfunction. Apoptosis of hepatocytes and of renal tubular epithelial cells are characteristic features of this disease and the apoptotic signal in this disease seems to be initiated by fumarylacetoacetate.
