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

Leukodystrophies are a diverse group of genetic disorders that selectively involve the white matter of the brain and are a frequent cause of young-onset cognitive impairment. Genetic diagnosis is challenging. Data on the utility of incorporating brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnostic algorithms with next-generation sequencing (NGS) for diagnosis in a real-life clinical setting is limited. We performed sequencing using a custom-designed panel of 200 neurodegeneration-associated genes on 45 patients with young-onset cognitive impairment with leukodystrophy, and classified them based on van der Knaap et al.'s MRI diagnostic algorithm. We found that 20/45 (44.4%) patients carried pathogenic variants or novel variants predicted to be pathogenic (one in
