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

Loss of the ATM protein kinase in humans results in Ataxia-telangiectasia, a disorder characterized by childhood-onset neurodegeneration of the cerebellum as well as cancer predisposition and immunodeficiency. Although many aspects of ATM function are well-understood, the mechanistic basis of the progressive cerebellar ataxia that occurs in patients is not. Here we review recent progress related to the role of ATM in neurons and the cerebellum that comes from many sources: animal models, post-mortem brain tissue samples, and human neurons in culture. These observations have revealed new insights into the consequences of ATM loss on DNA damage, gene expression, and immune signaling in the brain. Many results point to the importance of reactive oxygen species as well as single-strand DNA breaks in the progression of molecular events leading to neuronal dysfunction. In addition, innate immunity signaling pathways appear to play a critical role in ATM functions in microglia, responding to various forms of nucleic acid sensors and regulating survival of neurons and other cell types. Overall, the results lead to an updated view of transcriptional stress and DNA damage resulting from ATM loss that results in changes in gene expression as well as neuroinflammation that contribute to the cerebellar neurodegeneration observed in patients.
