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

Neurons uniquely antagonize fatty acid utilization by hydrolyzing the activated form of fatty acids, long chain acyl-CoAs, via the enzyme acyl-CoA thioesterase 7, Acot7. The loss of Acot7 results in increased fatty acid utilization in neurons and exaggerated stimulus-evoked behavior such as an increased startle response. To understand the contribution of Acot7 to seizure susceptibility, we generated Acot7 knockout (KO) mice and assayed their response to kainate-induced seizures. Acot7 KO mice exhibited potentiated behavioral and molecular indices of seizure severity following kainic acid administration, suggesting that fatty acid metabolism in neurons can be a critical regulator of neuronal activity. These data are consistent with the presentation of seizures in a human with genomic deletion of
