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

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is typically characterized by rapidly progressive dementia and myoclonus, and it is caused by a conformational change of the prion protein. The heritable forms are associated with mutation in the gene encoding the prion protein (PRNP). We report a 63-year-old Italian woman harboring the E200K PRNP mutation. Electroencephalogram, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, PRNP gene sequencing, histopathologic examination, immunohistochemical studies, and Western blotting analysis confirmed the diagnosis of CJD. Pyramidal involvement was the first sign and the prominent clinical feature. Later on, she developed also myoclonus, ataxia, spastic tetraplegia, and at last dementia with akinetic mutism. Usually, signs of degeneration of the pyramidal tracts occur in a small number of patients as the disease advances. Our report supports the variability of the clinical expression of the E200K genetic CJD. Further studies are needed to understand the molecular basis underlying the phenotypic variability among patients carrying this mutation.
