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

backgroundKCNC1 encodes Kv3.1, a subunit of the Kv3 voltage-gated potassium channels. It is predominantly expressed in inhibitory GABAergic interneurons and cerebellar neurons. Kv3.1 channelopathy has been linked to a variety of human diseases including epilepsy, developmental delay, and ataxia. Characterization of structural and functional disturbances of this channel, and its relationship to a heterogenous group of clinical phenotypes, is a current topic of research. We herein characterize the clinical phenotype as well as the functional and structural consequences of the novel

methodsVariant was identified via whole-exome sequencing and its functional impact was determined using two-electrode voltage clamp recordings in

resultsWe identified a novel loss-of-function KCNC1 variant c.949C>A (p.R317S) presenting with symptoms similar to myoclonic epilepsy and ataxia due to potassium channel (MEAK), but with distinct radiological features. Functional analysis in the
