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

Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is an X-linked recessive disorder characterized by cardiomyopathy and muscle weakness. The underlying cause of BTHS is a mutation in the tafazzin (TAZ) gene, a key enzyme of cardiolipin biosynthesis. The lack of CL arising from loss of TAZ function results in destabilization of the electron transport system, promoting oxidative stress that is thought to contribute to development of cardioskeletal myopathy. Indeed, in vitro studies demonstrate that mitochondria-targeted antioxidants improve contractile capacity in TAZ-deficient cardiomyocytes. The purpose of the present study was to determine if resolving mitochondrial oxidative stress would be sufficient to prevent cardiomyopathy and skeletal myopathy in vivo using a mouse model of BTHS. To this end we crossed mice that overexpress catalase in the mitochondria (MCAT mice) with TAZ-deficient mice (TAZKD) to produce TAZKD mice that selectively overexpress catalase in the mitochondria (TAZKD+MCAT mice). TAZKD+MCAT mice exhibited decreased mitochondrial H
