Hypometabolism and atrophy patterns associated with Niemann-Pick type C.
Article in EJNMMI research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundNiemann-Pick disease type C (NP-C) is a rare genetic lysosomal lipid storage disorder characterized by progressive neurological impairment. Early diagnosis is critical for initiating treatment with miglustat, which can decelerate disease progression. In this study, we evaluated a cohort of 22 NP-C patients who underwent MRI, [
resultsGroup-level MRI analysis identified significant cerebellar and thalamic atrophy (d = 1.56, p < 0.0001 and d = 1.09, p < 0.001, respectively), with less pronounced involvement of the frontal lobe and hippocampus, which aligned with existing neuropathological understanding and guidelines. Conversely, [
conclusionsOur findings delineate a discernible hypometabolism pattern specific to NP-C that distinguishes it from other neurodegenerative conditions, thus suggesting that [
