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

SPG31 is a hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) caused by pathogenic variants in the REEP1 gene. The phenotype (SPG31) has occasionally been described with peripheral nervous system involvement, in additional to the gradually progressing lower limb spasticity that characterizes HSP. The objective of this study was to characterize patients with pathogenic REEP1 variants and neurophysiologically assess the extent of peripheral nerve involvement in this patient group. Thirty-eight index cases were molecular-genetically tested, yielding two previously reported pathogenic REEP1 variants and a novel missense variant, in a total of four index patients. Three of four probands and five additional family members underwent nerve conduction studies, electromyography, quantitative sensory testing, and examination of the autonomic nervous system. None of the examined patients had completely unremarkable results of peripheral nerve studies. Most showed electrophysiological signs of carpal tunnel syndrome, and one patient demonstrated a multifocal compression neuropathy. Autonomic testing revealed no severe dysfunction, and findings were limited to adrenergic function. HSP caused by pathogenic REEP1 variants may be accompanied by a generally mild and subclinical polyneuropathy with a predisposition to compression neuropathy, and should be considered in such cases.
