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

Mutations in HINT1, the gene encoding histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein 1 (HINT1), cause a recessively inherited peripheral neuropathy that primarily involves motor dysfunction and is usually associated with neuromyotonia (i.e. prolonged muscle contraction resulting from hyperexcitability of peripheral nerves). Because these mutations are hypothesized to cause loss of function, we analyzed Hint1 knockout mice for their relevance as a disease model. Mice lacking Hint1 appeared normal and yielded normal behavioral test results or motor performance, although they moved more slowly and for a smaller fraction of time in an open-field arena than wild-type mice. Muscles, neuromuscular junctions, and nodes of Ranvier were anatomically normal and did not show evidence of degeneration or regeneration. Axon numbers and myelination in peripheral nerves were normal at ages 4 and 13 months. Axons were slightly smaller than those in wild-type mice at age 4 months, but this did not cause a decrease in conduction velocity, and no differences in axon diameters were detected at 13 months. With electromyography, we were unable to detect neuromyotonia even after using supraphysiologic stimuli and stressors such as reduced temperature or 3,4-diaminopyridine to block potassium channels. Therefore, we conclude that Hint1 knockout mice may be useful for studying the biochemical activities of HINT1, but these mice do not provide a disease model or a means for investigating the basis of HINT1-associated neuropathy and neuromyotonia.
