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

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are severe neurodegenerative diseases leading to early death. They belong to the group of lysosomal storage diseases. Epileptic seizures, dementia and motor deficits are frequent symptoms which are to be found prior to a total dismantling of personality and death. At present 10 subtypes of NCL can be distinguished from which the genetic defect is known in eight. The encoded proteins are soluble or membrane proteins whose function is still unclear in most cases. The investigation of the pathology and pathophysiology of NCL is highly dependent on animal models. Mouse models existing for all forms with a known genetic defect play a prominent role. Unfortunately, the retinal phenotype of some mouse models is milder than in humans rendering the appreciation of a positive therapeutic effect more difficult. Because of the severity of NCL, therapy strategies only established in a mouse model will be transferred to humans very quickly.
