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

Lafora body disease (MIM-254780), a glycogen storage disease, characterized by Lafora bodies (deformed glycogen molecules) accumulating in multiple organs, is a rare form of myoclonic epilepsy. It manifests in early adolescent years, initially with seizures and myoclonus, followed by dementia and progressive cognitive decline, ultimately culminating in death within 10 years. In Pakistan so far 5 cases have been reported. Here, we report a new case of Lafora body disease belonging to a consanguineous family from Pakistan. Histopathological analysis confirmed presence of lafora bodies in the patient`s skin. Sanger sequencing revealed novel homozygous 5bp deletion mutation (NM_005670.4; c.359_363delGTGTG) in exon 2 of the
