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

The gene for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1a (CMT1a) has been localised to chromosome 17p11.2. Locus D17S122 is recognised by the DNA probe pVAW409R3 which detects an MspI polymorphism with three alleles in the normal population. Subjects with CMT1a show evidence of trisomy for this region of chromosome 17 by displaying either all three alleles or a dosage effect when only two alleles are present. This phenomenon was seen in 10 out of 11 families with type I hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) where affected subjects were heterozygous for the MspI polymorphisms. This mutation is likely to have arisen from a non-reciprocal recombination event between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes at meiosis I. The detection of this partial trisomy offers a rapid method for the diagnosis of CMT1a in families not suitable for linkage analysis.
