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

The special AT-rich sequence binding protein 1 (SATB1) has been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) including developmental delay, intellectual disabilities (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). But the underlying biological mechanisms are still not fully understood. In this study we generated a rat model with a truncated Satb1 protein. We showed that Satb1 mutant caused growth retardation, microcephaly, altered ultrasonic vocalization and delayed neurobehavioral development in mutant pups as well as social and cognitive behavior deficits in adult mutants, mimicking the typical clinical characteristics of SATB1-associated NDDs. Injection of a GABAergic enhancer clonazepam (0.04 mg/kg, i.p.) effectively alleviated the abnormal social and cognitive behaviors in Satb1 mutant rats. Finally, RNA sequencing analysis further revealed a potential role of Satb1 in a cortical transcriptional regulatory network associated with NDDs including ID and ASD. Our results confirm the crucial roles of SATB1 in the pathogenesis of NDDs and provide insights into treatment strategies for SATB1-associated NDDs.
