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

backgroundAlthough genetically-engineered mouse models are revolutionizing our understanding of numerous human diseases, some of them fail to reproduce or to mimic the human condition or even exhibit distinct disease features depending on the mouse genetic background, on the environment conditions, and/or on unknown parameters.

objectiveExperiments aimed at further characterizing the muscle defects associated with the I-T substitution at position 4898 of the human type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) protein sequence, responsible for central core disease in affected patients, to use this model for therapeutic development. RyR1 is a cationic channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane that is responsible for the Ca

methodsWe used the corresponding I4895T mouse model, previously shown unviable in the homozygous form, and with heterozygous animals suffering from depressed RyR1-mediated Ca

resultsWe found no significant deficit in the heterozygous animals, from force and activity parameters at the whole organism level, to contraction of isolated muscles and Ca

conclusionsOur results prompt the need for caution when using this model, and point to its potential limited relevance for preclinical studies.
