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

Allgrove or "Triple A" syndrome is characterized by alacrima, achalasia, and adrenocorticotropic hormone-resistant adrenal insufficiency, as well as central and peripheral nervous system involvement. Patients demonstrate heterogeneity with regard to their age of symptom onset, disease severity, and nature of clinical symptoms. Neurophysiological testing has also shown variability ranging from: motor neuron disease with prominent bulbar involvement, motor-predominant neuropathy, or sensorimotor polyneuropathy with axonal or mixed axonal and demyelinating features. We report an 11-year-old boy who presented with neurological symptoms of progressive spasticity and peripheral neuropathy. His neurophysiological testing confirmed a sensorimotor polyneuropathy with axonal and demyelinating features. Exome sequencing identified compound heterozygote variants in the
