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 most frequent causes of autosomal dominant (AD) hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) (ADHSP) are mutations in the SPAST gene (SPG4 locus). However, roughly 60% of patients are negative for SPAST mutations, despite their family history being compatible with AD inheritance. A mutation in the gene for an acetyl-CoA transporter (SLC33A1) has recently been reported in one Chinese family to cause ADHSP-type SPG42. In this study, we screened 220 independent SPAST mutation-negative ADHSP samples for mutations in the SLC33A1 gene by high-resolution melting curve analysis. Conspicuous samples were validated by direct sequencing. Moreover, copy number variations affecting SLC33A1 were screened by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification assay. We could not identify potentially disease-causing mutations in our patients either by mutation scanning or by gene dosage analysis, as for the latter specific positive controls are not available to date. As our sample represents ADHSP patients for whom SPAST mutations and almost in all cases ATL1 and REEP1 mutations had been excluded, we consider SLC33A1 gene mutations as being very rare in a European ADHSP cohort, if present at all. To date, as SPG42 has still not been identified in a second, unrelated family, systematic genetic testing for SLC33A1 mutations is not recommended.
