Review in Journal of neural transmission (Vienna, Austria : 1996), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), which is a neurotoxin that selectively destroys catecholaminergic nerves in sympathetically innervated tissues, has been used to provide a model of Parkinson's disease in experimental animals. It is rapidly autoxidised to yield potentially toxic products and reactive oxygen species. Its ability to release Fe(II) from protein storage sites also results in the formation of hROS. This account will consider how this family of toxic products may contribute to the observed effects of 6-OHDA.
