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

objectivesTo describe two patients with progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) and mitochondrial myopathy associated with mutations in mitochondrial DNA, encoding the tRNA MATERIALS &

methodsTwo unrelated patients with PEO were clinically examined. Muscle biopsy was performed and investigated by exome sequencing, enzyme histochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. The level of heteroplasmy was investigated in single muscle fibers and in other tissues.

resultsPatient 1 was a 52-year-old man with ptosis, PEO, and exercise intolerance since childhood. Muscle biopsy demonstrated mitochondrial myopathy with frequent cytochrome c oxidase (COX)-deficient fibers and a heteroplasmic mutation, m.5669G>A in the MT-TN gene, resulting in a substitution of a highly conserved C to T in the T stem of tRNA

conclusionWe describe two MT-TN mutations associated with PEO and mitochondrial myopathy, and their pathogenicity was demonstrated. Together with previous reports, the results indicate that MT-TN is a hot spot for mutations causing sporadic PEO.
