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

Triplet repeat expansions were first discovered in 1991 and since then have been found to be the mutation underlying a range of neurodegenerative, neuromuscular, and cognitive disorders including fragile X syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, Friedreich's ataxia, and the polyglutamine disorders that include Huntington's disease. The repeats exert their detrimental effects through different molecular mechanisms dependent on whether they are located in coding or noncoding regions of the gene in question. During the past 10 yr, a wide range of strategies have been used to successfully establish mouse models for all of these disorders. This review presents an overview of these mouse models, discusses the insights into the molecular pathogenesis of these disorders that have been gained from their analysis and the strategies that are being used to uncover novel therapeutic options.
