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

Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are clinically and genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders. Numerous genes linked to HSPs, overlapping phenotypes between HSP subtypes and other neurodegenerative disorders and the HSPs' dual mode of inheritance (both dominant and recessive) make the genetic diagnosis of HSPs complex and difficult. Out of the original HSP cohort comprising 306 index cases (familial and isolated) who had been tested according to "traditional workflow/guidelines" by Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) and Sanger sequencing, 30 unrelated patients (all familial cases) with unsolved genetic diagnoses were tested using next-generation sequencing (NGS). One hundred thirty-two genes associated with spastic paraplegias, hereditary ataxias and related movement disorders were analysed using the Illumina TruSight™ One Sequencing Panel. The targeted NGS data showed pathogenic variants, likely pathogenic variants and those of uncertain significance (VUS) in the following genes: SPAST (spastin, SPG4), ATL1 (atlastin 1, SPG3), WASHC5 (SPG8), KIF5A (SPG10), KIF1A (SPG30), SPG11 (spatacsin), CYP27A1, SETX and ITPR1. Out of the nine genes mentioned above, three have not been directly associated with the HSP phenotype to date. Considering the phenotypic overlap and joint cellular pathways of the HSP, spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) genes, our findings provide further evidence that common genetic testing may improve the diagnostics of movement disorders with a spectrum of ataxia-spasticity signs.
