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

introductionSpinocerebellar ataxia type 14 (SCA14) is a dominantly inherited neurological disorder characterized by slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia. SCA14 is caused by mutations in PRKCG, a gene encoding protein kinase C gamma (PKCγ), a master regulator of Purkinje cells development.

methodsWe performed next-generation sequencing targeted resequencing panel encompassing 273 ataxia genes in 358 patients with genetically undiagnosed ataxia.

resultsWe identified fourteen patients in ten families harboring nine pathogenic heterozygous variants in PRKCG, seven of which were novel. We encountered four patients with not previously described phenotypes: one with episodic ataxia, one with a spastic paraparesis dominating her clinical manifestations, and two children with an unusually severe phenotype.

conclusionsOur study broadens the genetic and clinical spectrum of SCA14.
