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

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) neuropathy is one of the most common hereditary disorders of the human peripheral nervous system. The CMT syndrome includes weakness and atrophy of distal muscles, high arched feet (pes cavus), depressed or absent deep tendon reflexes, and mild sensory loss. Dominant intermediate CMT (DI-CMT) neuropathy is a form of CMT with intermediate median motor nerve conduction velocities. We previously localized the DI-CMT locus to a 16.8-cM region on chromosome 19p12-p13.2. Extended haplotype analysis and clinical assessment of additional family members and a report of a second family linked to this locus has enabled us to narrow the candidate region to a 6-cM interval flanked by D19S558 and D19S432. Selection of positional candidate genes for screening was performed on the basis of neural expression and microarray analysis of Schwann cell differentiation in vivo. Seven candidate genes have been investigated. These include six genes localized in the original linkage interval and one in the newly refined region. They are excluded as a cause for DI-CMT neuropathy.
