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

Familial dysautonomia (FD) is a recessive neurodegenerative disease caused by a splice mutation in Elongator complex protein 1 (ELP1, also known as IKBKAP); this mutation leads to variable skipping of exon 20 and to a drastic reduction of ELP1 in the nervous system. Clinically, many of the debilitating aspects of the disease are related to a progressive loss of proprioception; this loss leads to severe gait ataxia, spinal deformities, and respiratory insufficiency due to neuromuscular incoordination. There is currently no effective treatment for FD, and the disease is ultimately fatal. The development of a drug that targets the underlying molecular defect provides hope that the drastic peripheral neurodegeneration characteristic of FD can be halted. We demonstrate herein that the FD mouse TgFD9;Ikbkap
