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

A clinical, biochemical, histological and molecular genetic analysis of 60 McArdle patients (33 males and 27 females; mean age at diagnosis: 37 years) was performed. The objective of this study was to identify a possible genotype-phenotype correlation in McArdle disease. All patients complained of exercise-induced myalgia and fatigue; permanent weakness was present in 47% of the patients. Five percent of patients conveyed of masticatory muscle weakness. Age of onset was <15 years in 92% patients. Serum creatine kinase was elevated 5 to13-fold. Forearm ischemic test showed decreased lactate production but excessively increased ammonia upon exercise (
