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

Troyer syndrome, originally described in 1967 in an Old Order Amish population, is a complicated form of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion and slowly progressive. The cardinal features are spastic paraparesis, pseudobulbar palsy and distal amyotrophy, together with mild developmental delay and subtle skeletal abnormalities. We report a detailed evaluation of 21 cases of Troyer syndrome in the same Amish population, including three from the original study. Imaging of the brain revealed white matter abnormalities, particularly in the temporoparietal periventricular area. This study, coupled with the recent identification of the gene responsible (SPG20, encoding spartin), increases our understanding of this form of HSP.
