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

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease which is characterized by psychiatric symptoms, involuntary choreiform movements and dementia with maximum degeneration occurring in striatum and cerebral cortex. Several studies implicate mitochondrial dysfunction to the selective neurodegeneration happening in this disorder. Calcium buffering imbalance and oxidative stress in the mitochondria, critically impaired movement across axons and abnormal fission or fusion of this organelle in the cells are some of the salient features that results in the loss of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) complex function in HD. Although several models involving mutant huntingtin, excitotoxins and mitochondrial complex-II inhibitors have been used to explore the disease, it is not clear how disturbances in mitochondrial functioning is associated with such selective neurodegeneration, or in the expression of huntingtonian phenotypes in animals or man. We have carefully assessed various mitochondrial abnormalities observed in human patient samples, postmortem HD brains, cellular, vertebrate and invertebrate models of the disease, to conclude that ETC dysfunction is an integral part of the disease and justify a causal role of mitochondrial ETC dysfunction for the genesis of this disorder.
