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

Gestational methyl donor (especially B9 and B12 vitamins) deficiency is involved in birth defects and brain development retardation. The underlying molecular mechanisms that are dysregulated still remain poorly understood, in particular in the cerebellum. As evidenced from previous data, females are more affected than males. In this study, we therefore took advantage of a validated rat nutritional model and performed a microarray analysis on female progeny cerebellum, in order to identify which genes and molecular pathways were disrupted in response to methyl donor deficiency. We found that cerebellum development is altered in female pups, with a decrease of the granular cell layer thickness at postnatal day 21. Furthermore, we investigated the involvement of the Wnt signaling pathway, a major molecular pathway involved in neuronal development and later on in synaptic assembly and neurotransmission processes. We found that Wnt canonical pathway was disrupted following early methyl donor deficiency and that neuronal targets were selectively enriched in the downregulated genes. These results could explain the structural brain defects previously observed and highlighted new genes and a new molecular pathway affected by nutritional methyl donor deprivation.
