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

Cockayne Syndrome B (CSB) is a hereditary multiorgan syndrome which-through largely unknown mechanisms-can affect the brain where it clinically presents with microcephaly, intellectual disability and demyelination. Using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neural 3D models generated from CSB patient-derived and isogenic control lines, we here provide explanations for these three major neuropathological phenotypes. In our models, CSB deficiency is associated with (i) impaired cellular migration due to defective autophagy as an explanation for clinical microcephaly; (ii) altered neuronal network functionality and neurotransmitter GABA levels, which is suggestive of a disturbed GABA switch that likely impairs brain circuit formation and ultimately causes intellectual disability; and (iii) impaired oligodendrocyte maturation as a possible cause of the demyelination observed in children with CSB. Of note, the impaired migration and oligodendrocyte maturation could both be partially rescued by pharmacological HDAC inhibition.
