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

We studied three patients with Unverricht-Lundborg disease for autistic features along with other clinical features associated with progressive myoclonus epilepsy. We diagnosed this disease based on noise and touch sensitive myoclonus, ataxia, cognitive decline, typical EEG features, normal MRI of the brain and applied Children's Global Assessment Scale and Childhood Autism Spectrum Test to these children. The CGAS score was 35 in two and 50 in one of them. CAST scores were above 15 in all of three of them. Autistic features may be an important clinical feature of this disease. History and physical examination for myoclonus should probably be taken in autistic children.
