Familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease homozygous to the E200K mutation: clinical characteristics and disease course.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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 characterize the demographic, clinical features and disease course of familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (fCJD) patients homozygous to the E200K mutation.
methodsThe Israeli National CJD Database was screened for patients homozygous to the E200K mutation. Patients' demographic data, clinical presentation and neurological findings, tau protein levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and EEG, were assessed.
resultsTen homozygous E200K patients were identified (80% males). Average age of onset was 47.5 ± 6.1 years (range 40-56) and the average age of death was 49.3 ± 7. 7 years (range 42-63) with average disease duration of 27.7 ± 9.7 months (range 2-97). Initial clinical presentation included behavioral change in 4/10 patients, cognitive decline in 3/10 patients and focal neurological deficits in 2/10 patients. Throughout the disease course, the clinical signs in descending order of prevalence included cerebellar (70%), brainstem (60%), extrapyramidal (50%), pyramidal (50%), frontal lobe signs (30%), and disturbances of ocular motility (30%) Compared to the 228 heterozygous E200K fCJD patients, the 10 homozygous patients were significantly younger at disease onset (47.5 vs 59.7 years, p < 0.001), had a longer disease duration (27.7 vs 8.5 months, p < 0.001) and presented more frequently with behavioral changes as initial manifestation (4/10 vs. 34/228, p = 0.05).
conclusionsHomozygous E200K fCJD patients are characterized by a relatively younger age of onset and longer disease duration. Behavioral changes as a presenting symptom were more common in homozygous patients and cerebellar dysfunction was the most common neurological manifestation throughout the disease course.
