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

Autosomal-dominant spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is an adult-onset progressive disorder with well-characterized neurodegeneration in the cerebellum and brainstem. The objective of this study is to evaluate neurochemical changes associated with neurodegeneration in cerebral tissue in SCA1 patients compared to age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Nine patients with genetically proven SCA1 and nine gender- and age-matched healthy controls were prospectively recruited from the ataxia clinic and received clinical examination. A 1.5 T single-voxel brain proton MR spectroscopy was performed for total N-acetyl aspartate (tNAA) in cerebellum, parietofrontal lobe white matter, sensory cortex, and visual cortex. In the patients, tNAA was severely decreased in the cerebellar voxel; however, in the voxels positioned in sensory cortex, parietofrontal lobe white matter and visual cortex tNAA was reduced in comparison to controls. In addition to the profoundly affected cerebellum, we also found evidence for cerebral neurodegeneration in parietal lobe white matter, sensory cortex, and visual cortex in SCA1 patients illustrating a multisystem neurodegenerative character of the disease.
