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

Neurofibromatosis type I is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by the development of disfiguring neurofibroma tumors with unmet clinical needs. As Neurofibromatosis Type I is a monogenic disease, the development of gene therapy is highly attractive, but it is currently unknown if rescuing the NF1 gene in established neurofibroma is sufficient for tumor regression. Here, we test this hypothesis by building two novel NF1 mouse models with reversible NF1 expression. In the first model, the human NF1
