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

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 (CMT1) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) have distinct clinical and neurophysiological features that result from dysmyelination in CMT1 and macrophage-mediated segmental demyelination in CIDP. CMT1 may occur in genetically isolated cases with atypical presentations that converge phenotypically with CIDP; in rare cases, however, CMT1 may be complicated by superimposed CIDP. We report the case of a patient harboring a de novo heterozygous null mutation of the myelin protein zero (MPZ) gene and affected by subclinical CMT1B who became symptomatic due to superimposed CIDP. Peripheral nerve high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) aided in establishing the coexistence of CMT1B and CIDP; the diagnosis was further supported by favorable clinical, neurophysiological, and ultrasound responses to immunoglobulin therapy.
