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

Biallelic mutations in the HINT1 gene were recently identified as the cause of axonal neuropathy with neuromyotonia. It has been suggested that HINT1 mutations may indeed account for 11% of all inherited neuropathies with autosomal recessive inheritance. However, 81% of patients HINT1-related neuropathies reported to date are originally from five European countries and the global prevalence of the disorder is still unknown. In our study, we aimed to determine the frequency of HINT1 mutations by direct sequencing in a cohort of 152 patients with inherited neuropathies from the UK and Spain, where no cases have been described to date. We failed to identify patients with clinical myotonia, neuromyotonia or pathogenic mutations in HINT1. Our results support that HINT1-related neuropathies are not homogeneously distributed among European populations, which may be explained by founder effects. This geographical variability also underlines the importance of considering the ethnic background when screening for mutations in neuropathy-related genes.
