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

Nemaline myopathy, which is characterized by the accumulation of ''rod'' bodies in muscle fibers is a very rare inherited muscle disease. According to the underlying mutation, the disease has varying severity of clinical outcomes. Patients with severe forms of the disease die because of hypotonia, feeding difficulties, aspiration pneumonia, and respiratory failure in the neonatal or infancy period. Mild forms of the disease present with walking-swallowing difficulties and respiratory distress in late childhood or adulthood. A two-and-a-half-month-old boy was monitored in our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit with hypotonia, pneumonia, and respiratory distress. Nemaline myopathy was diagnosed as the result of a muscle biopsy. An advanced molecular examination revealed heterozygous mutations in the skeletal muscle α-actin (ACTA1) gene, which is the second most common cause of this disease. Nemaline myopathy should be kept in mind in patients of all age groups with respiratory failure and walking difficulty secondary to muscle weakness.
