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

objectivesRett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked autism spectrum disorder caused by mutations in the MeCP2 gene in the great majority of cases. Evidence suggests a potential role of oxidative stress (OS) in its pathogenesis. Here, we investigated the potential value of OS markers (non-protein-bound iron (NPBI) and F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs)) in explaining natural history, genotype-phenotype correlation, and clinical heterogeneity of RTT, and gauging the response to omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs).

methodsRTT patients (n=113) and healthy controls were assayed for plasma NPBI and F2-IsoPs, and intraerythrocyte NPBI. Forty-two patients with typical RTT were randomly assigned to ω-3 PUFAs supplementation for 12 months. NPBI was measured by HPLC and F2-IsoPs using a gas chromatography/negative ion chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry (GC/NICI-MS/MS) technique.

resultsF2-IsoPs were significantly higher in the early stages as compared with the late natural progression of classic RTT. MeCP2 mutations related to more severe phenotypes exhibited higher OS marker levels than those of milder phenotypes. Higher OS markers were observed in typical RTT and early seizure variant as compared with the preserved speech and congenital variants. Significant reduction in OS markers levels and improvement of severity scores were observed after ω-3 PUFAs supplementation. DISCUSSION: OS is a key modulator of disease expression in RTT.
