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

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a complex tauopathy usually confirmed at post-mortem in advanced stages of the disease. Early PSP-like changes that may outline the course of the disease are not known. Since PSP is not rarely associated with argyrophilic grain disease (AGD) of varible intensity, the present study was focused on AGD cases with associated PSP-like changes in an attempt to delineate early PSP-like pathology in this category of cases. Three were typical clinical and pathological PSP. Another case presented with cognitive impairment, abnormal behavior and two falls in the last three months. One case suffered from mild cognitive impairment, and two had no evidence of neurological abnormality. Neuropathological study revealed, in addition to AGD, increased intensity and extent of lesion in three groups of regions, striatum, pallidus/subthalamus and selected nuclei of the brain stem, correlating with neurological impairment. Biochemical studies disclosed oxidative damage in the striatum and amygdala. Together the present observations suggest (i) early PSP-like lesions in the striatum, followed by the globus pallidus/subthalamus and selected nuclei of the brain stem; (ii) early involvement of neurons and astrocytes, but late appearance of tufted astrocytes; and (iii) oxidative damage of glial acidic protein in the striatum.
