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

Congenital myopathies are a molecularly, pathologically and clinically heterogenous group of disorders defined by hypotonia and muscle weakness, that usually present at birth or early childhood, in association with a characteristic morphological defect. The most common morphological defects are nemaline rods, cores of varying size, central nuclei, and type I fibre hypotrophy, with or without an additional abnormality. The defective genes responsible for many of the congenital myopathies are known, but there is considerable clinico-pathological overlap. In particular, defects in more than one gene are associated with the presence of the same pathological feature, while defects in the same gene can result in more than one pathological feature. Understanding the complexities of these spectra is paramount to the elucidation of pathogenesis, and to the development of therapies.
