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

objectiveTo investigate whether the Ala143Thr variant of the

methodsThe index patient, a woman in her 60s with cardiomyopathy, was screened for variants in 59 cardiomyopathy-related genes. A143T/

resultsThe index patient and her elder son had a pacemaker implantation because of sick sinus syndrome and atrioventricular block. GLA activities were decreased to 25%-40% of normal in both sons and one granddaughter. Lyso-Gb3 levels were elevated in both sons. In CMR, the index patient and her two sons had left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and/or dilatation. The elder son had late gadolinium enhancement, high CMR-derived T1 time and positive FDG signal in PET/CT in the basal inferolateral LV wall. The younger son had low T1 time and the mother had positive FDG signal in PET/CT in the basal inferolateral LV wall. Endomyocardial biopsy of both sons showed myocardial accumulation compatible with glycolipids in light and electron microscopy, staining with anti-Gb3 antibody available for the younger son. Five female relatives with A143T/
