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

purposePathogenic variants in STUB1 were initially described in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 16 and dominant cerebellar ataxia with cerebellar cognitive dysfunction (SCA48).

methodsWe analyzed a large series of 440 index cerebellar ataxia cases, mostly with dominant inheritance.

resultsSTUB1 variants were detected in 50 patients. Age at onset and severity were remarkably variable. Cognitive impairment, predominantly frontal syndrome, was observed in 54% of STUB1 variant carriers, including five families with Huntington or frontotemporal dementia disease-like phenotypes associated with ataxia, while no STUB1 variant was found in 115 patients with frontotemporal dementia. We report neuropathological findings of a STUB1 heterozygous patient, showing massive loss of Purkinje cells in the vermis and major loss in the cerebellar hemispheres without atrophy of the pons, hippocampus, or cerebral cortex. This screening of STUB1 variants revealed new features: (1) the majority of patients were women (70%) and (2) "second hits" in AFG3L2, PRKCG, and TBP were detected in three families suggesting synergic effects.

conclusionOur results reveal an unexpectedly frequent (7%) implication of STUB1 among dominantly inherited cerebellar ataxias, and suggest that the penetrance of STUB1 variants could be modulated by other factors, including sex and variants in other ataxia-related genes.
