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

introductionWhite matter signal changes are common in wide spectrum of disorders other than primary demyelinating diseases. Knowledge into their characteristics is of great relevance as treatment options are available in most cases, if diagnosed early. PATIENT AND

methodsPatients both children and adults who showed radiological evidences of leukoencephalopathy which was not due to primary demyelinating disorders were evaluated in detail.

resultsThere were a total of 55 patients in the last 2 years. 58% patients were <10 years, 16% were <20years, 9% were <30 years and the rest of the patients were 40 and above. Commonest condition was ALD, followed by SSPE and Unclassified group. There were 3 cases each of MLD, Krabbe's, Vanishing White Matter Disease and Hypomyelination. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionWhite matter disorders belong to a wide spectrum of illnesses which varies from degeneration to a spectrum of other disorders. Correlating the clinical, radiological and other laboratory data are mandatory for proper diagnosis. Those who belong to older age with shorter duration and uncharacterized radiological features suffered from acquired treatable causes.
