Patient-Reported Impact of Symptoms in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 2 (PRISM-2).
Article in Neurology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo determine the frequency and relative importance of the most life-affecting symptoms in myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) and to identify the factors that have the strongest association with these symptoms.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of adult patients with DM2 from a National Registry of DM2 Patients to assess the prevalence and relative importance of 310 symptoms and 21 symptomatic themes. Participant responses were compared by age categories, sex, educational attainment, employment status, and duration of symptoms.
resultsThe symptomatic themes with the highest prevalence in DM2 were the inability to do activities (94.4%), limitations with mobility or walking (89.2%), hip, thigh, or knee weakness (89.2%), fatigue (89.2%), and myotonia (82.6%). Participants identified the inability to do activities and fatigue as the symptomatic themes that have the greatest overall effect on their lives. Unemployment, a longer duration of symptoms, and less education were associated with a higher average prevalence of all symptomatic themes (p < 0.01). Unemployment, a longer duration of symptoms, sex, and increased age were associated with a higher average effect of all symptomatic themes among patients with DM2 (p < 0.01).
conclusionsThe lives of patients with DM2 are affected by a variety of symptoms. These symptoms have different levels of significance and prevalence in this population and vary across DM2 subgroups in different demographic categories.
