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

The results of genetic studies suggest a possible role for SNAP-25 polymorphism in the development of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs); however, there are no data available on whether changes in SNAP-25 expression also affect animals in rodent models of ASD. The aim of the present study was to explore this issue. The studies included 1-month-old rats representing valproic acid (VPA)- and thalidomide (THAL)-induced models of autism. Their mothers received single doses of VPA (800 mg/kg) or THAL (500 mg/kg) per os on the 11th day of gestation. SNAP-25 protein content in the cerebellum, hippocampus, and frontal lobe was determined using Western blotting, while changes of mRNA levels of Snap25 gene were determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Compared to controls, SNAP-25 content was decreased by approximately 35% in all brain structures tested, in both males and females, exclusively in the VPA group. In contrast to this, Snap25 expression, studied in males, was increased in the hippocampus and cerebellum in both, VPA- and THAL-treated rats. We discuss the compliance of these results with the hypothesized role of SNAP-25 in the pathophysiology of ASD and the adequacy of the experimental models used.
