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

Among the various dominantly-inherited spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs), at least seven of them belong to the polyglutamine disease group and are caused by glutamine-coding CAG triplet repeat expansion. The expanded coding CAG repeat translates into a polyglutamine stretch in the disease protein, which leads to late-onset and progressive neurodegeneration. Expanded polyglutamine adopts a misfolded protein conformation, and is itself a cellular stressor which induces robust heat shock response (HSR). Under polyglutamine stress, heat shock proteins (Hsps) are produced in neurons to assist refolding and/or promote the degradation of misfolded proteins. Along with the progressive nature of polyglutamine degeneration, a gradual decline of HSR in degenerating neurons was observed. Such kind of reduction can be observed in a large family of hsp gene expression, including hsp22, 26, 27, and 70. This underscores an intimate relationship between the inducibility of hsp gene expression and the disease progression. In this review, we describe the current understandings of hsp gene dysregulation in polyglutamine disease.
