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

backgroundCACNA1A variants have been described in several disorders that encompass a wide range of neurologic phenotypes, including hemiplegic migraine, ataxia, cognitive delay, and epilepsy. To date, ischemic stroke caused by a CACNA1A variant has only been reported once in the literature.

methodsWe describe a 4-year-old female with recurrent ischemic strokes beginning at 6 weeks of age, intractable epilepsy, and significant global developmental delay. Exome sequencing (ES) was completed for her evaluation.

resultsWe found a novel de novo, likely pathogenic variant, p.Leu1692Gln in CACNA1A by ES. The substitution affects a leucine residue that is highly conserved in species from fish to primates.

conclusionWe present the second case of recurrent ischemic strokes in a patient with CACNA1A mutation. Our findings expand the phenotypic heterogeneity related to Ca
