Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 1A: Influence of Body Mass Index on Nerve Conduction Studies and on the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Examination Score.
Article in Journal of clinical neurophysiology : official publication of the American Electroencephalographic Society, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeCharcot-Marie-Tooth Disease type 1A (CMT1A) is caused by a duplication of the peripheral myelin protein gene 22 at chromosome 17p11.2-12. There is limited data regarding whether body mass index (BMI) affects electrophysiological or clinical data in those with CMT1A.
methodsElectrophysiological data, the Charcot-Marie-Tooth examination score (CMTES) and BMI from 101 patients with known CMT1A were obtained and analyzed.
resultsWhen controlling for age, a higher BMI does not affect ulnar motor nerve conduction studies in those with CMT1A, but rather components of the CMTES (loss of pinprick and motor strength in the lower extremities).
conclusionsBMI and clinical components of the CMTES are correlated, but it is uncertain which came first-whether the loss of lower extremity pinprick sensation and motor strength results in a higher BMI or if higher BMI results in these signs.
