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

Spinal muscular atrophies (SMAs) are hereditary disorders characterized by degeneration of lower motor neurons. Different SMA types are clinically and genetically heterogeneous and many of them show significant phenotypic overlap. We recently described the clinical phenotype of a new disease in two Finnish families with a unique autosomal dominant late-onset lower motor neuronopathy. The studied families did not show linkage to any known locus of hereditary motor neuron disease and thus seemed to represent a new disease entity. For this study, we recruited two more family members and performed a more thorough genome-wide scan. We obtained significant linkage on chromosome 22q, maximum LOD score being 3.43 at marker D22S315. The linked area is defined by flanking markers D22S686 and D22S276, comprising 18.9 Mb. The region harbours 402 genes, none of which is previously known to be associated with SMAs. This study confirms that the disease in these two families is a genetically distinct entity and also provides evidence for a founder mutation segregating in both pedigrees.
