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

Harding's classification takes credits for defining the homogeneous phenotypes that have been essential for the genetic linkage studies and it is still useful for didactic purposes. The advances in pathogenetic knowledge make it now possible to modify Harding's classification. Five main pathogenetic mechanisms may be distinguished: 1) mitochondrial; 2) metabolic; 3) defective DNA repair; 4) abnormal protein folding and degradation; 5) channelopathies. The present attempt to classify ataxia disorders according to their pathogenetic mechanism is a work in progress, since the pathogenesis of several disorders is still unknown. A pathogenetic classification may be useful in clinical practice and when new therapeutic strategies become available.
