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

We studied three patients with mutations in the senataxin gene (SETX). One had juvenile onset of ALS. The second case resembled hereditary motor neuropathy. The third patient had an overlap syndrome of ataxia-tremor and motor neuron disease, phenotypes previously associated with SETX mutations. Our patients were all apparently sporadic, with no other affected relative. Two relatives of patient no. 2 carried the SETX c.4660T > G transversion but did not manifest motor neuron disease, abnormal eye movements, ataxia, or tremor suggesting that genetic or environmental modifiers may influence expression of this SETX polymorphism. Relatives of patients 1 and 3 were not available for examination or SETX mutation screening. Mutations causing ALS4 may be more frequent and heterogeneous than expected. Screening for SETX mutations should be considered in patients with apparently sporadic juvenile-onset ALS, hereditary motor neuropathy, and overlap syndromes with ataxia and motor neuron disease.
