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

Cystatin B (CSTB) gene mutations cause Unverricht-Lundborg disease (ULD), a rare form of myoclonic epilepsy. The previous identification of a Portuguese patient, homozygous for a unique splicing defect (c.66G > A; p.Q22Q), provided awareness regarding the existence of variant forms of ULD. In this work we aimed at the characterization of this mutation at the population level and at the cellular level. The cellular fractionation studies here carried out showed mislocalization of the protein and add to the knowledge on this disease.
