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

Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are genetically heterogeneous mendelian disorders characterized by weakness and spasticity in the lower limbs associated with additional neurologic signs in "complex" or "complicated" forms. Major advances have been made during the past two decades in our understanding of their molecular bases. The mapping of 34 genes (17 of which have been identified) involved in this clinically diverse group of disorders has highlighted their great genetic heterogeneity. From the combined genetic and clinical information obtained, a new classification is now emerging that will help to better diagnose this condition, evaluate disease progression, guide follow-up, and permit genetic counselling. Evidence is now accumulating that at least part of the physiopathology results from abnormal intracellular trafficking, as well as from altered cell recognition and signaling, oligodendroglial dysfunction, mitochondrial defects, and impaired cholesterol and/or neurosteroid metabolism.
