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

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most frequent inherited neuropathy, no therapies are available at the moment but clinical trials are ongoing. For that reason it is very important to know the natural history of the disease. We report the results of the natural history of clinical features and quality of life (QoL) in patients with CMT2. Twenty patients were enrolled. At recruitment and at follow-up (2 years), all patients underwent neurological evaluation, QoL and disability assessments. The study-end evaluation took place 20-28 months after the baseline evaluation. During the 2-year follow-up period, CMT2 patients showed a mild reduction of strength of distal muscles of upper limbs and proximal muscles of lower limbs, a worsening sensory function and a mild increase in walking disability. However, there was no relevant worsening of QoL, except for a mild deterioration of one mental health domain.
