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 mouse mutant quaking(viable) ( qk(v)) has been studied for almost four decades as a model for dysmyelination of the central nervous system (CNS). The genetic lesion associated with the qk(v) phenotype is a large deletion of approximately 1 Megabase on mouse Chromosome (Chr) 17. This deficiency alters the expression of transcripts from the qkI locus in oligodendrocytes, resulting in improper myelination of the CNS in animals homozygous for the deletion. To determine whether other genes within the deletion contribute to the quaking(viable) phenotype, we physically mapped and sequenced the deleted interval. We determined that the mouse Parkin gene, as well as the Parkin co-regulated gene ( Pacrg), lies within the qk(v) deletion. We determined that qk(v) mutants completely lack the expression of the Parkin gene product. Loss-of-function mutations in the human PARKIN gene cause autosomal juvenile Parkinson's disease (AR-JP). Our studies show that the deletion of Parkin in qk(v) brains does not result in the loss of dopaminergic neurons typical of AR-JP patients. Also, alpha-synuclein, a target of Parkin-dependent ubiquitination, does not accumulate in qk(v) mutant brains. Despite the lack of AR-JP-like neuropathology in qk(v) mice, this mutant may constitute a readily available model for the study of the cellular function of Parkin. This is the first report of a gene distinct from qkI affected by the qk(v) deletion. The discovery of the multigenic nature of this classical mouse mutation calls for the re-evaluation of its phenotypic characterization.
