A Multi-Omic Huntington's Disease Transgenic Sheep-Model Database for Investigating Disease Pathogenesis.
Article in Journal of Huntington's disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe pathological mechanism of cellular dysfunction and death in Huntington's disease (HD) is not well defined. Our transgenic HD sheep model (OVT73) was generated to investigate these mechanisms and for therapeutic testing. One particular cohort of animals has undergone focused investigation resulting in a large interrelated multi-omic dataset, with statistically significant changes observed comparing OVT73 and control 'omic' profiles and reported in literature.
objectiveHere we make this dataset publicly available for the advancement of HD pathogenic mechanism discovery.
methodsTo enable investigation in a user-friendly format, we integrated seven multi-omic datasets from a cohort of 5-year-old OVT73 (n = 6) and control (n = 6) sheep into a single database utilising the programming language R. It includes high-throughput transcriptomic, metabolomic and proteomic data from blood, brain, and other tissues.
resultsWe present the 'multi-omic' HD sheep database as a queryable web-based platform that can be used by the wider HD research community (https://hdsheep.cer.auckland.ac.nz/). The database is supported with a suite of simple automated statistical analysis functions for rapid exploratory analyses. We present examples of its use that validates the integrity relative to results previously reported. The data may also be downloaded for user determined analysis.
conclusionWe propose the use of this online database as a hypothesis generator and method to confirm/refute findings made from patient samples and alternate model systems, to expand our understanding of HD pathogenesis. Importantly, additional tissue samples are available for further investigation of this cohort.
