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

We describe the cases of two sisters with spastic paraplegia 11 (SPG11). The younger sister developed relapsing lesions in the brain white matter with enhancement during the acute phase that mimicked multiple sclerosis (MS). The elevation of myelin basic protein in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) suggested demyelination, but a normal IgG index, the absence of oligoclonal bands, and the ineffectiveness of steroid treatment indicate that an autoimmune mechanism may not have been involved. In these affected sisters, we identified novel compound heterozygous mutations in the SPG11 gene. Our cases indicate the possible existence of a broader phenotypic spectrum of SPG11 mutations.
