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

Neuronal origins of behavioral disorders have been examined for decades to construct frameworks for understanding psychiatric diseases and developing useful therapeutic strategies with clinical application. Despite abundant anecdotal evidence for white matter etiologies, including altered tractography in neuroimaging and diminished oligodendrocyte-specific gene expression in autopsy studies, mechanistic data demonstrating that dysfunctional myelin sheaths can cause behavioral deficits and perturb neurotransmitter biochemistry have not been forthcoming. At least in part, this impasse stems from difficulties in identifying model systems free of degenerative pathology to enable unambiguous assessment of neuron biology and behavior in a background of myelin dysfunction. Herein we examine myelin mutant mice lacking expression of the Claudin11 gene in oligodendrocytes and characterize two behavioral endophenotypes: perturbed auditory processing and reduced anxiety/avoidance. Importantly, these behaviors are associated with increased transmission time along myelinated fibers as well as glutamate and GABA neurotransmitter imbalances in auditory brainstem and amygdala, in the absence of neurodegeneration. Thus, our findings broaden the etiology of neuropsychiatric disease to include dysfunctional myelin, and identify a preclinical model for the development of novel disease-modifying therapies.
