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

backgroundLeukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL) is characterized by slowly progressive spastic gait, cerebellar symptoms, and posterior cord dysfunction. CASES: The proband had gait disturbance since age 56, while her younger brother had the gait problem since his 20s and needed cane-assistance at age 45. Both cases showed typical demyelinating features of LBSL on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) involving the periventricular white matter, brainstem, cerebellum and spinal cord. Sequencing of both cases showed compound heterozygous mutations: c.228-16C>A and c.508C>T in LITERATURE REVIEW: Literatures from PubMed were reviewed. Five families showed intra-familial heterogeneity on age at onset or clinical severity.

conclusionWe identified a family of LBSL with compound heterozygous mutations, and c.508C>T at the exon 6 is a novel one. Clinical heterogeneity was observed in the family and other literatures. Further research for underlying mechanism is required.
