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

We present pathology of the peripheral nerves of a patient with Adult-onset Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 4F caused by periaxin gene mutation p.D651N. The patient was a 72-year-old woman. She had hoarseness and underwent continuous positive airway pressure therapy at night due to sleep apnea. The patient died abruptly. Remarkable demyelination with tomacula formation was found in the phrenic nerve, vagal nerve, recurrent laryngeal nerve, and oculomotor nerves. The cause of death could have been insufficient reactivity to the aspiration or sudden onset of bilateral vocal cord palsy. We must pay attention to respiratory function and cranial nerve palsies in hereditary demyelinating neuropathies.
