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

The purpose of this case report and literature review is to show that familial episodic pain syndrome (FEPS) is a non-inflammatory genetically inherited pain syndrome. A 3-year-old boy presented at our hospital with pain in both his forearms and lower limbs below the knees for more than 3 years. There were no abnormalities in the blood tests, blood smears, liver and kidney function tests, trace elements tests, cellular immunity test, humoral immunity test, autoantibody tests, C-reactive protein (CRP) test, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) test, and tumor-related and bone marrow cytology examinations. Additionally, the imaging examination results showed no abnormalities. From the patient's medical history, we found that the mother of the child had a family history of a similar disease. To date, only 21 cases of FEPS3 caused by the sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 11A (SCN11A) gene mutation have been reported. Although the age of onset is different, most of them are inherited in families. The results of the genetic examination revealed that the pain mainly came from the genetic inheritance of the maternal family line. The whole exon gene test revealed that the pain was caused by 2 heterozygous mutations of c.674G > T and c.671T > C in the
