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

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are the most common group of neurodegenerative diseases that presents in childhood and are characterized by seizures and progressive neurological deterioration, which results in dementia, ataxia, visual failure, and various forms of abnormal movement. The most common form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses is late infantile (LI-NCL), in association with the genes CLN2, CLN5, CLN6, and CLN8. We report the cases of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses type 8 in 3 patients from 2 unrelated families, which was confirmed by molecular testing in 2 of them. Multiple spontaneous abortions, early death, and early onset of motor disability were observed in our cases, reflecting a possible association of NCL 8 with other unrecognized neurodegenerative diseases. Our results expand the genotypic/phenotypic background of variant late Infantile-NCL in Arabic ethnicity.
