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

We describe the clinical, electrodiagnostic, and genetic findings of three homozygous FIG4-c.122T>C patients suffering from Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4J (AR-CMT-FIG4). This syndrome usually involves compound heterozygosity associating FIG4-c.122T>C, a hypomorphic allele coding an unstable FIG4-p.Ile41Thr protein, and a null allele. While the compound heterozygous patients presenting with early onset usually show rapid progression, the homozygous patients described here show the signs of relative clinical stability. As FIG4 activity is known to be dose dependent, these patients' observations could suggest that the therapeutic perspective of increasing levels of the protein to improve the phenotype of AR-CMT-FIG4-patients might be efficient.
