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

Huntington's disease (HD) causes neurological impairments, as well as muscle dysfunction, including smaller neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). This study assessed the expression levels of the subunits of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) in muscles of the R6/2 mouse model of HD. Based on our previous findings of reduced NMJ size in R6/2 mice, it was hypothesized that muscles from R6/2 mice would also show an altered expression pattern of nAChR subunits compared to wild-type (WT) mice. Therefore, the mRNA levels of nAChR subunits were quantified in R6/2 and WT mouse muscles using qRT-PCR. Denervated muscles from WT mice served as positive controls for alterations in nAChR expression. Although some changes in nAChR subunit expression occurred in R6/2 muscles, the expression levels closely resembled WT. However, the expression of nAChR subunit-ε (
