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

Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are a group of neurodegenerative disorders which involve the corticospinal tracts and present with distinct spasticity and weakness of the lower extremities. The estimated prevalence of HSP is around 1.8/100,000 cases for both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive types. Classification of HSP is based on inheritance pattern, clinical phenotype, and molecular pathophysiological mechanisms. The most common neuropathological sign is the axonal degeneration involving the lateral corticospinal tracts in both the cervical and thoracic spinal cord. The target of this review article is to provide a comprehensive overview of the HSP classification, neuropathology, and differential diagnosis.
