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 report a case of late-onset predominantly axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease resulting from a novel mutation in the MPZ gene encoding myelin protein zero (P0). Neurological examination, electrophysiological examination and genetic testing were performed on three members of a Finnish family (family A) and one member of a German family (family B). Three other members of the Finnish family were interviewed and genetically tested. Genetic testing was also performed on 95 healthy Finnish controls. Three members in two generations of family A and the member of family B were affected with late-onset axonal more than demyelinating, motor and sensory polyneuropathy. Heterozygous c.316C>T mutation in MPZ leading to p.Arg106Cys in P0 was found in all the affected subjects, but not in the three unaffected members of the Finnish family. None of 95 healthy Finnish controls harbored the mutation. The findings of this study indicate that p.Arg106Cys allele in MPZ causes late-onset predominantly axonal sensory and motor neuropathy.
