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

Here we describe an 8-year-old intact male Jack Russell Terrier with a 9-month history of slowly progressive gait disturbances that advanced over 2 years to generalized stiffness without ataxia and severe bilateral hyperflexion of all limbs. Gait evaluation showed high lifting of both pelvic limbs resulting in a hopping movement in the rear end; the right pelvic limb was kept lifted, making the dog trot on the 3 other limbs. Both thoracic limbs were lifted higher than normal. Complete blood count and serum biochemistry analysis including creatine kinase activity were normal. Electrophysiological examination showed no abnormalities. Muscle biopsy samples collected at a later stage of the disease showed no abnormalities. A homozygous frameshift variant in SETX (senataxin) was identified and is predicted to truncate about 85% of the protein. The SETX variant adds a new gene variant to the list affecting Jack Russell Terriers with gait abnormalities.
