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

In this article, we present an eight-year-old boy with developmental delay and cerebellar symptoms who was found to have a de novo eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (EEF2) mutation on genetic testing. Previously, pathogenic mutations in EEF2 have been associated with spinocerebellar ataxia 26. An extremely rare disorder, spinocerebellar ataxia type 26 (SCA26), has only been documented as an autosomal dominant, inherited, late-onset ataxia in one six-generation family of Norwegian descent. However, three pediatric patients with de novo EEF2 mutations were recently discovered, presenting with noncerebellar symptoms such as syndactyly, developmental delay, and behavioral issues. The patient of this study was found to have features similar to both adult patients with SCA26 as well as previous pediatric patients with de novo mutations.
