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

objectiveThe development of a disease-specific patient-reported outcome for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is an important step in the preparation for therapeutic trials. This study describes the development of the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Health Index (CMTHI).

methodsInherited Neuropathy Consortium Contact Registry participants were queried on the symptoms that most impacted their lives. The CMTHI was developed based on these responses. Factor analysis, assessment of test-retest reliability, known group validity, and patient interviews were utilized to refine the instrument.

resultsThe final CMTHI contains 18 themes that capture Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) burden. The CMTHI has a high internal consistency and test-retest reliability. The CMTHI was able to discriminate between patient groups expected to have different disease burden. The CMTHI was able to discriminate levels of disability as measured by the CMT examination score and the mobility-Disability Severity Index.

interpretationThe CMTHI represents a valid and reliable outcome to assess patient-reported disease burden in CMT. Ann Neurol 2018;84:225-233.
