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

Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS) is a dominantly inherited disorder belonging to the group of transmissible human spongiform encephalopathies or prion diseases. Several families affected by GSS with patients carrying mutations in the prion protein gene have been described worldwide. We report clinical, genealogical, neuropathology and molecular study results from two members of the first Argentine kindred affected by GSS. Both family members presented a frontotemporal-like syndrome, one with and the other without ataxia, with different lesions on neuropathology. A Pro to Leu point mutation at codon 102 (P102L) of the prion protein gene was detected in one of the subjects studied. The pathogenic basis of phenotypic variability observed in this family remains unclear, but resembles that observed in other P102L GSS patients from the same family.
