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

Background: Non-ataxic manifestations in autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias are variable and influenced by CAG repeat length and age at onset. This report describes a genetically proven SCA2 kindred with an atypical phenotype resembling SCA3. Case Report: The phenotype of five genetically proven patients with SCA2 in this report differed from the typical phenotype owing to persistence of reflexes late into the course of illness, absence of peripheral neuropathy, and very prominent facial twitches. Discussion: Despite descriptions of typical phenotypes of SCA, significant variations occur, especially within kindreds. Caution should be exercised in clinical diagnoses of SCA, especially with atypical features.
