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

Mutations in the methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene cause Rett syndrome (RTT), a progressive X-linked neurological disorder characterized by loss of developmental milestones, intellectual disability and breathing abnormality. Despite being a monogenic disorder, the pathogenic mechanisms by which mutations in MeCP2 impair neuronal function and underlie the RTT symptoms have been challenging to elucidate. The seemingly simple genetic root and the availability of genetic data from RTT patients have led to the generation and characterization of a series of mouse models recapitulating RTT-associated genetic mutations. This review focuses on the studies of RTT mouse models and describe newly obtained pathogenic insights from these studies. We also highlight the potential of studying pathophysiology using genetics-based modeling approaches in rodents and suggest a future direction to tackle the pathophysiology of intellectual disability with known or complex genetic causes.
