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

Mice with the weaver mutation exhibit an uneven weave to their gait, ataxia, mild locomotor hyperactivity and, occasionally, tonic-clonic seizures. A single amino acid mutation in a G-protein coupled, inwardly rectifying K+ channel, GIRK2, gives rise to the symptoms seen in the weaver mice. Two areas of the brain are primarily affected. Cerebellar granule cell neurons die soon after birth and dopaminergic neurons are severely depleted in the substantia nigra. In this article we review recent studies of wild-type and mutant GIRK channels found in native cells or introduced into expression systems. We also review two models that explain some of the details leading to the neuronal cell death observed in weaver mice.
