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

Congenital fiber-type disproportion is a rare condition, histologically characterized by a relative type 1 fiber hypotrophy. The main clinical feature is mild-to-severe muscle weakness. In this report, we present the case of a 21-year-old patient with congenital fiber-type disproportion in an outpatient rehabilitative setting to evaluate the feasibility and results of an assessment battery, including bioimpedance analysis (BIA), dynamometry, 3D gait analysis, 6‑min walk test (6MWT), and the timed up and go test (TUG). The patient had a notable decrease in all functional scores. BIA: lean body mass, 38.4 kg (50.2 ± 5.3), body fat, 1.6% (12.4 ± 4.4); hand dynamometry: 18.5 kg left/20.0 kg right (44.8 ± 6.6); walking speed, 58 cm/s (122.7 ± 11.1), step length, 43.0 cm (61.6 ± 3.5); 6MWT: 478.5 m (638 ± 44); TUG: 9.4 s (8.1 ± 1.0). No adverse events were reported. The tests used were easily applicable in clinical routine and well tolerated by our patient.
