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

Monogenic diseases are well-suited paradigms for the causal analysis of disease-driving molecular patterns. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is one such monogenic model, caused by mutation or deletion of the survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. Although several functions of the SMN protein have been studied, single functions and pathways alone do not allow the identification of crucial disease-driving molecules. Here, we analysed the systemic characteristics of SMA, using proteomics, phosphoproteomics, translatomics and interactomics, from two mouse models with different disease severities and genetics. This systems approach revealed subnetworks and proteins characterizing commonalities and differences of both models. To link the identified molecular networks with the disease-causing SMN protein, we combined SMN-interactome data with both proteomes, creating a comprehensive representation of SMA. By this approach, disease hubs and bottlenecks between SMN and downstream pathways could be identified. Linking a disease-causing molecule with widespread molecular dysregulations via multiomics is a concept for analyses of monogenic diseases.
