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

introductionXeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations resulting in defective repair of DNA damage. XP patients have a markedly increased risk of ultraviolet-induced neoplasms and premature aging of sun-exposed tissue. Approximately 25% of XP patients in the United States have neurologic abnormalities including progressive sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).

objectiveTo describe the temporal bone histopathology in 2 individuals with XP (XPA and XPD) with neurologic degeneration and to discuss the possible causes of deafness in these patients.

methodsTemporal bones were removed at autopsy and studied using light microscopy.

resultsIn the case with XPD, the organ of Corti was missing throughout the cochlea, whereas the case with XPA demonstrated scattered presence of sensory cells in the middle and apical turns. In both cases, there was moderate-to-severe patchy atrophy of the stria vascularis in all turns, and cochlear neurons were severely atrophied compared with age-matched controls, with loss of both peripheral dendrites and central axons. There was severe degeneration of Scarpa's ganglion in the case with XPA.

conclusionTwo cases of XP with neurologic degeneration are reported. The case with XPD demonstrated a more severe audiologic phenotype than XPA, although both had similar findings such as atrophy of the organ of Corti, stria vascularis, and spiral ganglia leading to severe or profound SNHL by the third decade of life. It is not clear if the neuronal degeneration in the inner ear was primary or secondary to loss of neuroepithelial cells.
