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

Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) refers to a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive weakness and stiffness in the muscles of the legs. To date, more than 83 types of HSP exist, differing in their etiology, their degree of severity, and the nature of symptoms associated with each of these conditions. Owing to their genetic and clinical heterogeneity, the establishment of an accurate diagnosis can be very challenging, especially with the clinical overlap observed between those conditions and other neurogenetic diseases. A 7-year-old girl, born to a consanguineous Iraqi family, was referred to us for clinical and genetic evaluation. The patient presents with progressive difficulty in walking that started when she was 3 years old, lower limb predominant spastic paraparesis, and mild upper limbs involvement with slight tremor in the hands, all occurring in the absence of neurodevelopmental or growth delays. Whole exome sequencing revealed a novel homozygous missense variation in the RNF170 gene (NM_030954.3; p.Cys107Trp), thus establishing the diagnosis of HSP. Here, we report the second missense biallelic variation in RNF170 and we discuss thoroughly all previously reported cases with RNF170-linked HSP.
