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

It is unknown whether alterations in EEG brain activity caused by Huntington's disease may be responsive to huntingtin-lowering treatment. We analysed EEG recordings of 46 patients (mean age = 47.02 years; standard deviation = 10.19 years; 18 female) with early-manifest Stage 1 Huntington's disease receiving the huntingtin-lowering antisense oligonucleotide tominersen for 4 months or receiving placebo as well as 39 healthy volunteers (mean age = 44.48 years; standard deviation = 12.94; 22 female) not receiving treatment. Patients on tominersen showed increased resting-state activity within a 4-8 Hz frequency range compared with patients receiving placebo (cluster-based permutation test,
