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

backgroundSpinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1) is a rare autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease of unknown prevalence characterized by degeneration of anterior horn alpha-motoneurons and manifesting in the first 6months of life as life-threatening irreversible diaphragmatic paralysis associated with progressive symmetrical muscular weakness (distal lower limbs mainly involved), muscle atrophy, and peripheral sensory neuropathy.

settingPediatric intensive care unit of tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS: We present two new cases of SMARD1 and report two new mutations in the gene IGHMBP2 which encodes immunoglobulin mu-binding protein 2 on chromosome 11q13.

conclusionsSMARD1 is a poor-prognosis disease that should be considered when acute respiratory insufficiency, of suspected neuromuscular or unclear cause, develops during the first 6months of life. Diaphragmatic paralysis, manifesting as dyspnea and paradoxical respiration, is the most prominent presenting sign and diaphragmatic motility should be investigated early by fluoroscopy or ultrasound. Electromyography and nerve conduction studies revealing peripheral motor and sensory neuropathy then suggest the diagnosis which should be confirmed by genetic analysis.
