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

A novel spontaneous neurological mutation, scrambler (scm), appeared in the inbred mouse strain DC/Le (dancer) in 1991. Mice homozygous for this recessive mutation are recognized by an unstable gait and whole-body tremor. The cerebella of 30-day-old scrambler homozygotes are hypoplastic and devoid of folia; however, neither seizures nor abnormal brain wave patterns have been observed. Homozygous scrambler mutants have an ataxic gait which in the male may be a contributory factor in the failure to mate. Female homozygotes mate and breed. Life span is not reduced in either sex. Scrambler is similar to the reeler mutation in phenotype and pathology and, like reeler, probably results from defective neuronal migration. We mapped the scrambler mutation to Chromosome (Chr) 4, proving that it is distinct from the recently cloned reeler gene on Chr 5. We also determined the map position of the agrin gene, Agrn, on Chr 4, and on this basis eliminated it as a candidate for scm. Currently there is no known homology of scrambler with human lissencephalies or other human disorders caused by abnormal neuronal migration.
