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

backgroundFamilial cases of autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of charlevoix-saguenay have not been reported in the Arabian Peninsula, although the consanguineous marriage rate is very high. We report the first family from the Arabian Peninsula harboring a novel frameshift mutation in the CASE SUMMARY: A 33-year-old man presented to our neurology clinic with balance problems and weakness of distal upper and lower limbs. He was previously clinically diagnosed with Friedreich's ataxia. However, the severity of polyneuropathy and the electrodiagnostic studies (EDX) findings are atypical features of Friedreich's ataxia, and the deterioration was attributed to diabetic neuropathy. Close examination of other family members identified cerebellar ataxia, lower-limb pyramidal signs, peripheral neuropathy, and magnetic resonance imaging findings characterized by pontine linear hypointensities. Genetic testing for Friedreich's ataxia did not yield a diagnosis. Whole exome sequencing identified a novel frameshift germline mutation in the
