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

objectiveTo search for new therapies aimed at ameliorating the neurologic symptoms and epilepsy developing in patients with Lafora disease.

methodsLafora disease is caused by loss-of-function mutations in either the EPM2A or EPM2B genes. Epm2a

resultsSodium selenate ameliorates some of the motor and memory deficits and the sensitivity observed with pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) treatments in Epm2b SIGNIFICANCE: Sodium selenate could be beneficial for ameliorating some symptoms that present in patients with Lafora disease.
