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 segmental trisomy model, Ts65Dn, has been a valuable resource for the study of the molecular and developmental processes associated with the pathogenesis of Down syndrome. However, male infertility and poor transmission of the small marker chromosome, T(17(16))65Dn, carrying the distal end of mouse Chromosome 16 (MMU16) are limiting factors in the efficient production of these animals for experimental purposes. We describe here the identification and preliminary characterization of mice, designated Ts[Rb(12.17(16))]2Cje, carrying a chromosomal rearrangement of the Ts65Dn genome whereby the marker chromosome has been translocated to Chromosome 12 (MMU12) forming a Robertsonian chromosome. This stable rearrangement confers fertility in males and increases the frequency of transmitted segmental trisomy through the female germline. We confirm retention of a dosage imbalance of human Chromosome 21 (HSA21)-homologous genes from App to the telomere and expression levels similar to Ts65Dn within the triplicated region. In addition, we characterized the dendritic morphology of granule cells in the fascia dentata in Ts[Rb(12.17(16))2Cje and 2N control mice. Quantitative confocal microscopy revealed decreased spine density on the dendrites of dentate granule cells and significantly enlarged dendritic spines affecting the entire population in Ts[Rb(12.17(16))]2Cje as compared to 2N controls. These findings document that the structural dendritic spine abnormalities are similar to those previously observed in Ts65Dn mice. We conclude that this new model of Down syndrome offers reproductive advantages without sacrificing the integrity of the Ts65Dn model.
