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

Pathogenic variants in the nonimprinted in Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome (NIPA1) gene typically present with pure hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) but complex cases are described. We present a patient with childhood idiopathic generalised epilepsy (IGE) who later developed HSP. She rapidly deteriorated 27 years later with clinically definite amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Her family history included HSP, IGE and motor neurone disease. Genetic testing identified a pathogenic variant in the NIPA1 gene associated with spastic paraplegia 6 (SPG6). This case provides the first description of NIPA1 in a family with epilepsy, ALS and thus complex HSP.
