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

Selective degeneration of striatal neurons is a pathologic hallmark of Huntington disease (HD). The exact mechanism(s) behind this specific neurodegeneration is still unknown. Expression studies of diseased human post-mortem brain, as well as different mouse models exhibiting striatal degeneration, have demonstrated changes in the expression of many important genes with a large proportion of changes being observed in the striatal-enriched genes. These investigations have raised questions about how enrichment of particular transcripts in the striatum can lead to its selective vulnerability to neurodegeneration. Monitoring the expression changes of striatal-enriched genes during the course of the disease may be informative about their potential involvement in selective degeneration. In this study, we analyzed a Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) database (www.mouseatlas.org) and compared the mouse striatum to 18 other brain regions to generate a novel list of striatal-enriched transcripts. These novel striatal-enriched transcripts were subsequently evaluated for expression changes in the YAC128 mouse model of HD, and differentially expressed transcripts were further examined in human post-mortem caudate samples. We identified transcripts with altered expression in YAC128 mice, which also showed consistent expression changes in human post-mortem tissue. The identification of novel striatal-enriched genes with altered expression in HD offers new avenues of study, leading towards a better understanding of specific pathways involved in the selective degeneration of striatal neurons in HD.
