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

introductionCongenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are a group of genetic disorders that stem mostly from molecular defects in nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs). Defects in the cholinergic receptor nicotinic delta subunit (CHRND) gene can cause a series of myasthenic syndromes. Here, we report 2 new compound heterozygous variants of the CHRND gene in a Chinese male with CMS. CASE PRESENTATION: A 43-year-old Chinese male presented with progressive muscle weakness, difficulty chewing, and an inability to lift his head from the time he was 8 years old. He was treated with pyridostigmine, which was partially effective. Two weeks prior, he was hospitalized for dyspnea. Upon examination, he was unable to drum his cheeks and exhibited fatigable muscle weakness and facial muscle atrophy. Sequencing of his exome revealed 2 previously unreported mutations in CHRND, c.59G>A (exon2) and c.423G>C (exon5).

conclusionsWe identified a new mutational site that contributes to the onset of CMS.
