Repeat instability as the basis for human diseases and as a potential target for therapy.
Review in Nature reviews. Molecular cell biology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 273 papers.
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.
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
Expansions of repetitive DNA sequences cause numerous human neurological and neuromuscular diseases. Ongoing repeat expansions in patients can exacerbate disease progression and severity. As pathogenesis is connected to repeat length, a potential therapeutic avenue is to modulate disease by manipulating repeat expansion size--targeting DNA, the root-cause of symptoms. How repeat instability is mediated by DNA replication, repair, recombination, transcription and epigenetics may explain its contribution to pathogenesis and give insights into therapeutic strategies to block expansions or induce contractions.
