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

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a multisystem disorder that affects numerous organ systems. Brain lesions that form during development, known as tubers, are highly associated with epilepsy, cognitive disability, and autism. Following the identification of two genes and their encoded proteins, TSC1 (hamartin) and TSC2 (tuberin), responsible for TSC, identification of several downstream protein cascades that might be affected in TSC have been discovered. Of primary importance is the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway that controls cell growth and protein synthesis. The mechanisms governing brain lesion growth have not been fully identified but likely altered regulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin cascade by hamartin and tuberin during development leads to aberrant cell growth. Secondary effects of TSC gene mutations might disrupt normal neuronal migration and cerebral cortical lamination. Numerous studies have identified changes in gene and protein expression in animal models of TSC and in human TSC brain specimens that contribute to altered brain cytoarchitecture. This review will provide an overview of the neurobiological aspects of TSC.
