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

As with chromosomal DNA, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can contain mutations that are highly pathogenic . In fact, many diseases of the central nervous system are known to be caused by mutations in mtDNA. Dysfunction of the mitochondrial Respiratory Chain (RC) has been shown in patients with neurological disease including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and Multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a demyelinating disease of central nervous system characterized by morphological hallmarks of inflammation, demyelination and axonal loss. Considering this importance, we decided to investigate several highly mutative parts of mtDNA for point mutations as MT-LTI (tRNA(Leucine1(UUA/G))), MT-NDI (NADH Dehydrogenase subunit 1), MT-COII (Cytochrome c oxidase subunit II), MT-TK (tRNA(Lysine)), MT-ATP8 (ATP synthase subunit F0 8) and MT-ATP6 (ATP synthase subunit F0 6) in 20 Iranian MS patients and 80 age-matched control subjects by PCR and automated DNA sequencing to evaluate any probable point mutations. Our results revealed that 15 (75%) out of 20 MS patients had point mutations. Some of point mutations were newly found in this study. This study suggested that point mutation occurred in mtDNA might be involved in pathogenesis of MS.
