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

One of the largest clusters of genetic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (gCJD) is found among Jews of Libyan origin in Israel and is linked to the E200K mutation in PRNP (gCJDE200K). The aim of this study was to compare the levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, Tau and 14-3-3 proteins, between gCJDE200K patients, sporadic CJD (sCJD) patients and non-CJD controls in Israel between the years 1996-2006. The levels of Tau and 14-3-3 proteins in CSF were measured by ELISA and immunoblotting, respectively. CSF Tau levels were similar in gCJDE200K and sCJD, both were significantly higher than in controls [1,107 ± 470 pg/ml [33/46 (72%)] of the cases >1,000 pg/ml, 1,280 ± 580 pg/ml [25/30 (83.3%)], and 354 ± 338 pg/ml [17/243 (6.9%)], respectively, p < 0.001]. 14-3-3 was detected in CSF of 41/53 (77%) of each gCJDE200K and sCJD patients tested, but only in 70/417 (16.8%) of controls (p < 0.001). An inverse correlation was found between disease duration and Tau levels in both gCJDE200K and sCJD (r = -0.464 and r = -0.284). No difference was found in Tau or 14-3-3 between the various codon 129 genotypes. We conclude that CSF biomarkers, Tau and 14-3-3, may be used in the diagnosis in both patients' populations, presenting a similar sensitivity yet Tau assay having higher specificity.
