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

Thyroid hormones (THs) are essential for normal development of the mammalian central nervous system through regulation of TH-responsive genes. EphA5, an important TH-responsive gene encoding the tyrosine kinase receptor EphA5, regulates synaptogenesis initiation and synaptic remodeling during brain development. Abnormal EphA5 expression is involved in the development of congenital hypothyroidism (CH). To show the regulatory mechanism of EphA5 expression in CH rats, we analyzed the correlation between methylation of the EphA5 promoter and its expression in the hypothyroid hippocampus and hippocampal neurons. Demethylation treatment using 5'-azadeoxycytidine upregulated EphA5 expression and rescued the effects of hypermethylation, suggesting a novel regulatory mechanism of EphA5 expression in CH rats. Our results suggest a potentially new approach for the development of drugs to restore neurocognitive impairments associated with CH.
