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 purpose of the study was to prospectively assess magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of lower limb musculature in an axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT2) pedigree due to mutation in the dynamin 2 gene (DNM2). The series comprises a proband patient aged 55 years and her two affected daughters aged 32 and 23. MR imaging study included T1- and fat suppressed T2-weighted spin-echo sequences. MR imaging study showed extensive fatty infiltration of all calf muscle compartments with relative preservation of the deep posterior one. Fatty muscle infiltration increased distally in 19 out of 66 (23%) visualized calf muscles in the three patients, but this percentage increased to 64% in the youngest and least severe patient. Muscle edema without contrast enhancement was present in 23% of calf muscles. There was massive fatty atrophy of foot musculature. We conclude that MR imaging study accurately depicts lower limb muscle involvement in CMT2 caused by DNM2 mutation.
