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

introductionChediak-Higashi disease (CHD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with hematologic, infectious, pigmentary, and neurologic manifestations. Classic CHD (C-CHD) presents in early childhood with severe infectious or hematologic complications unless treated with bone marrow transplantation. Atypical CHD (A-CHD) has less severe hematologic and infectious manifestations. Both C-CHD and A-CHD develop neurological problems.

methodsEighteen patients with CHD (9 A-CHD and 9 C-CHD) underwent electrodiagnostic studies as part of a natural history study (NCT 00005917). Longitudinal studies were available for 10 patients.

resultsAll A-CHD patients had either sensory neuropathy, sensorimotor neuropathy, and/or diffuse neurogenic findings. In C-CHD, 3 adults had sensorimotor neuropathies with diffuse neurogenic findings, and 1 adult had a sensory neuropathy. The 5 children with C-CHD had normal electrodiagnostic findings.

conclusionsCHD can result in sensory or sensorimotor neuropathies and/or a diffuse motor neuronopathy. It may take 2-3 decades for the neuropathic findings to develop, because children appear to be spared. Muscle Nerve 55: 359-365, 2017.
