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

Congenital myasthenia syndrome (CMS) is a group of heterogeneous diseases affecting the neuromuscular endplate. CMS has a considerably different phenotypic presentations, with the onset time ranging from early infancy to late adulthood. Here, we report a case of a CMS due to a new DOK7 mutation in a 28-year-old man and two of his sisters, who have a pure limb-girdle weakness. DOK7 CMS has a varying presentation. Typically, the onset occurs in childhood with ptosis, bulbar symptoms, difficulty walking, weakness, and gait abnormality. This case sheds light on a novel DOK7 gene mutation with a unique presentation of CMS and provides insight into its unique phenotypic presentation.
