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

backgroundCharcot-Marie-Tooth 1C (CMT1C) is a rare form of dominantly inherited CMT1 neuropathy caused by a mutated gene encoding lipopolysaccharide-induced tumour necrosis alpha factor (LITAF). CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 56-year-old patient with an atypical clinical phenotype of CMT1C, which started as progressive weakness of a single upper limb resembling acquired inflammatory neuropathy. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) and temporarily limited and partial effects of immunotherapy supported the diagnosis of inflammatory neuropathy. Significant progression of polyneuropathy, despite intensive long-lasting immunotherapy, together with repeatedly negative auxiliary investigations (CSF, MRI and antibodies) and genetic testing results finally led to the diagnosis of CMT1C neuropathy.

conclusionsCMT1C should be added to the list of inherited neuropathies that need to be considered in suspected cases of inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy.
