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

Loss of function of the Wfs1 gene causes Wolfram syndrome, a rare multisystem degenerative disorder. Mutant mice with targeted Wfs1 gene disruption (Wfs1 KO) display morphological and behavioral impairments that are not well understood. The present study aimed to investigate the striatal dopamine output of wild-type, heterozygous, and homozygous Wfs1 null-mutant mice using in vivo microdialysis technique. The baseline dopamine output in striatum was similar in all three animal groups. The application of 100 mM [K+]-rich modified Ringer solution caused in homozygous Wfs1 mutant mice an increase of dopamine output by 400%, while in wild-type and heterozygous animals, the increase of the dopamine output yielded up to 1,200%. In sum, the homozygous Wfs1 mutant mice (AUC₀₋₃ = 0.212 nM/μl h) show significantly decreased striatal dopamine output in response to high-concentration [K+] challenge as compared with wild-type or heterozygous Wfs1 mutant conspecifics (AUC₀₋₃ = 0.427 and 0.505 nM/μl h, respectively). This could explain at least some of the behavioral alterations in Wfs1 mutant mice.
