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

backgroundAicardi-Goutières Syndrome (AGS) is a rare neuroinflammatory condition characterized by early-onset symptoms that extend outside the nervous system. Due to the rarity of the disease, the pathogenesis is not well understood, and its diagnosis and treatment remain elusive. We recently demonstrated mitochondrial abnormalities and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) derived from METHODS AND

resultsBy means of flow cytometry, we found that metformin treatment significantly decreases ROS production in

conclusionsIn conclusion, even if these pilot results need to be confirmed on a larger cohort, we shed light on metformin treatment as a valid approach to ameliorate oxidative stress-related inflammation in AGS patients.
