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

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating, heterogeneous neurodegenerative neuromuscular disease that leads to a fatal outcome within 2-5 years, and yet, a precise nature of the association between its major phenotypes and the cerebellar role in ALS pathology remains unknown. Recently, repeat expansions in several genes in which variants appreciably contribute to cerebellar pathology, including C9orf72, NIPA1, ATXN2 and ATXN1, have been found to confer a significant risk for ALS. To better define this relationship, we performed MAGMA gene-based analysis and tissue enrichment analysis using genome-wide association study summary statistics based on a study of 27,205 people with ALS and 110,881 controls. Our preliminary results imply a striking cerebellar tissue specificity and further support increasing calls for re-evaluation of the cerebellar role in the ALS pathology.
