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 neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is characterized by recurrent sensory and motor neuropathy in individual nerves starting in adolescence or young adulthood, focal conduction abnormalities at entrapment sites on nerve conduction studies, and sausage-like swellings (tomacula) of the myelin sheaths by nerve biopsy. It is characterized genetically by the deletion of the chromosome 17p11.2-p12 region including the peripheral myelin protein-22 gene in the overwhelming majority of cases. HNPP may be frequently underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed owing to the heterogeneity of clinical and electrophysiological appearance. The main objective of this review is to describe clinical manifestations, paraclinical features such as electrodiagnostic, pathological, radiological and genetics findings, and possible treatments.
