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

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a genetically heterogeneous group of disorders. Pain is a less common symptom complained by CMT patients. We described a case of a 39-year-old male patient affect by Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease compared to five healthy controls (HC), to assess the sensory and the nociceptive pathways by using LEPs recording associated to fMRI examination, to find an "objective" marker which could be used in the management of CMT patient. The nociceptive system was evaluated by laser-evoked potentials (LEPs). Moreover, fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) examination, by using laser stimuli, was performed. LEPs' examination showed an increase of latency and an amplitude reduction respect to HC. The laser stimulation during fMRI showed a decreased cortical activations if compared to HC. The originality of this paper, although limited to a single case, resides in a detailed evaluation of CMT1 patient performed by using neurophysiologic and neuroimaging methods to investigate extensively the sensory nociceptive pathways.
