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

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) and spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are both progressive neurodegenerative disorders, which can manifest cerebellar dysfunctions and parkinsonism-related symptoms, although the former is sporadic and the latter is autosomal dominant disease. Routinely, diagnosis is primarily based on clinical information-thorough history and physical examination should be included. Provided family history obtained, distinguishing SCAs from MSA is easy. However, how can we diagnose MSA or SCAs, in case of insufficient and unconvinced clinical symptoms or family history? Especially, familial MSA cases had been reported recently. We may drop into a dilemma resulting from analogous manifestations between MSA and SCAs. Herein, we aim to give a comprehensive introduction of MSA and SCAs, mainly in phenotype and genotype, and then address the connection and difference between them. Recently, some studies had been put forward to figure out the overlapped features between MSA and SCAs. Through this review, we want to discuss the possibility of misdiagnosis between MSA and SCAs.
