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

Alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC) is a rare disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of transient hemiplegia. Although autonomic nervous system dysfunction is believed to be associated with AHC, there are no reports of heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with AHC. In the current study, we analyzed HRV in a 20-year-old female with this disorder. The frequency of paralytic attacks have decreased since the patient was a teenager, compared to when she was < ten years old; however, as a 20-year-old, she still experiences paralytic attacks several times per month to more than ten times per month. Thus far, she has only suffered paralytic attacks and no epileptic seizures. Using Sanger sequencing, Gly947Arg (2839G>A) in the sodium-potassium (Na
