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

backgroundGordon Holmes syndrome (GHS), characterized by cerebellar ataxia and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH), has been related to recessive mutations in AIMS OF THE STUDY: Describe one Portuguese family with GHS due to compound heterozygosity of two new

methodsReport on the clinical presentation, diagnostic and genetic workup to reach GHS diagnosis.

resultsThe index case presented with slight cognitive impairment and primary amenorrhea, developed at the age of 25 a cerebellar syndrome. Her neurological exam revealed ataxia and mild extrapyramidal syndrome. She was born from non-consanguineous parents and had 8 siblings. Two of her sisters also had history of primary amenorrhea, tremor and ataxia. All 3 were diagnosed with HH and previous

conclusionsThis case shows how incomplete studies can be misleading, increases genetic knowledge of GHS and expands its clinical spectrum. The coexistence of a
