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

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by specific loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain stem. Although ALS has historically been characterized as a motor neuron disease, there is evidence that motor neurons degenerate in a retrograde manner, beginning in the periphery at the neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) and skeletal muscle. We recently reported a vesicle trafficking protein Bet1L (Bet1 Golgi Vesicular Membrane Trafficking Protein Like) as a new molecule possibly linked to NMJ degeneration in ALS. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that Bet1L gene silencing in skeletal muscle could influence NMJ integrity, motor neuron function, and survival in a rat model of familial ALS (SOD1
