The effect of diet on the protective action of D156844 observed in spinal muscular atrophy mice.
Article in Experimental neurology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an early-onset motor neuron disease characterized by loss of spinal motor neurons which leads to skeletal muscle atrophy. Proximal SMA results from the loss or mutation of the survival motor neuron (SMN) gene. In humans, the SMN gene is duplicated to produce two nearly identical genes, SMN1 and SMN2. SMN1 is lost in SMA but SMN2 is retained; in fact, the number of SMN2 copies correlates with disease severity. The SMN2 inducer D156844 increases the survival and improves phenotype of SMN∆7 SMA mice. Maternal diet also modifies the survival and phenotype of these mice. In this study, we show the effect of maternal diet on the protective effects of D156844 in SMN∆7 SMA mice. SMA mice maintained on the PicoLab20 Mouse diet survived longer when treated with D156844; the effect of diet was additive to the effect of D156844 on these mice. Brain levels of D156844 were higher in neonatal mice maintained on the PicoLab20 diet than those on the Harlan-Teklad 22/5 diet. SMN protein levels in the spinal cord were modestly elevated in D156844-treated, PicoLab20-maintained SMA mice. These data show that maternal diet does influence the responsiveness of D156844 in neonatal SMN∆7 SMA mice.
