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

objectivesTo investigate the genetic and clinical features of Chinese sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SALS) patients with TARDBP mutations, we carried out a genetic analysis in a cohort of 391 SALS patients and explored the clinical manifestations of patients with TARDBP variants. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe coding region of all five coding exons of TARDBP, exons 2-6, were sequenced for mutations in 391 Chinese SALS patients. The clinical features of patients with TARDBP mutations were described and compared with cases in literatures.

resultsTwo missense mutations in TARDBP gene, c.1132A > G (p.N378D) and c.1147A > G (p.I383V), were detected in three cases, showing a low frequency (0.77%, 3/391) of TARDBP missense mutations in Chinese SALS patients. Based on a retrospective analysis of literatures, p.N378D mutation mainly presents a phenotype of early onset, whereas p.I383V mutation presents pure ALS or ALS alongside semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), a type of frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

conclusionsOur results demonstrate that TARDBP mutation is a rare cause of Chinese SALS patients and expand the spectrum of phenotype. It is implied that genetic analysis of SALS patients plays a crucial role in uncovering the cause of disease, especially for cases developing early onset or alongside FTD.
