Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia and peripheral neuropathy with raised alpha-fetoprotein.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
We describe three patients from two families with progressive spinocerebellar ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, raised alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and hypercholesterolaemia. Two siblings had identical clinical features, with late childhood onset of symptoms and slow progression, requiring crutches to walk at ages 37 and 38 years. Another patient developed ataxia aged 13 years and became wheel-chair bound by 20 years of age. Although they all had raised serum AFP levels, their clinical, immunological, biochemical, cytogenetic and molecular genetic studies failed to support a diagnosis of Ataxia Telangiectasia. Extensive investigation including imaging, biochemical and genetic studies excluded other known ataxias. Their clinical features most closely resemble the phenotype of a single consanguineous Japanese family with four individuals affected by spinocerebellar ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, raised AFP and hypercholesterolaemia. Homozygosity mapping has identified a locus in this Japanese family at 9q34. Haplotype analysis of our cases demonstrated possible linkage to 9q34, suggesting these may be the first Caucasian families described with this disorder.
