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) is caused by polyglutamine (polyQ) repeat expansions in the huntingtin gene. HD-causative polyQ alleles lead to protein aggregation, which is a prerequisite for disease. Translation fidelity modifies protein aggregation, and several studies suggest that mutating one or two glutamine (Gln) residues in polyQ reduces aggregation. Thus, we hypothesized that missense suppression of Gln codons with other amino acids will reduce polyQ aggregate formation in cells. In neuroblastoma cells, we assessed tRNA variants that misread Gln codons with serine (tRNA
