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

The differential diagnosis of chronic demyelinating polyneuropathy particularly includes inflammatory (CIDP) and hereditary causes. Using the example of a 63-year-old patient, we show the diagnostic procedure with conventional electrophysiological diagnostics and additionally by the use of proximal nerve conduction studies with high-voltage stimulation (HVS) and the direct morphological examination by high-resolution nerve ultrasound. In the present case, the focal accentuation of the changes in HVS and the equally pronounced focal thickening of the most affected ulnar nerve in ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of CIDP instead of hereditary neuropathy.
