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

Patterned degeneration of Purkinje cells (PCs) can be observed in a wide range of neuropathologies, but mechanisms behind nonrandom cerebellar neurodegeneration remain unclear. Sphingolipid metabolism dyshomeostasis typically leads to PC neurodegeneration; hence, we questioned whether local sphingolipid balance underlies regional sensitivity to pathological insults. Here, we investigated the regional compartmentalization of sphingolipids and their related enzymes in the cerebellar cortex in healthy and pathological conditions. Analysis in wild-type animals revealed higher sphingosine kinase 1 (Sphk1) levels in the flocculonodular cerebellum, while sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) levels were higher in the anterior cerebellum. Next, we investigated a model for spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) driven by the transgenic expression of the expanded Ataxin 1 protein with 82 glutamine (82Q), exhibiting severe PC degeneration in the anterior cerebellum while the flocculonodular region is preserved.
