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

backgroundAutosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia (ARHSP) with thin corpus callosum is a distinct and usually severe form of complex hereditary spastic paraplegia classified as SPG11. Recently mutations on SPG11 gene (KIAA1840), which is localized to chromosome 15q13-q15, were shown to cause the majority of SPG11 cases.

methodsWe analysed the 40 coding exons of this gene in the probands from eight families with complex ARHSP, four of these families had a thin corpus callosum and two has mild thinning.

resultsThree families were identified with novel mutations in the SPG11 gene. One family was of Asian origin with a homozygous nonsense mutation and had a very severe phenotype but only very mild thinning of the corpus callosum. In the other two English families the parents were unrelated and the mutations were compound heterozygotes. In these two families the phenotype was mild and both probands had a thin corpus callosum.

conclusionGiven the probable mechanism of action of the mutations in the Spatacsin gene, we discuss the probable genotype phenotype correlations in these families. This study confirms the frequent occurrence of Spatacsin mutations in complex ARHSP with genotype phenotype effects and exposes the spectrum of clinical heterogeneity in SPG11.
