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

Objective: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with unknown causes involving upper and lower motor neurons. Our study aimed to explore the diagnostic value of neuroelectrophysiological examination in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Methods: A total of 64 patients admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to December 2020 were selected as ALS group. Additionally, 64 normal healthy people in the same period were selected as the control group. Electrophysiological tests were performed on all personnel involved in the study, and the results and parameter changes of different personnel were compared and analyzed. Results: There was a statistical difference between the EMG data of clinically confirmed ALS and the proposed ALS and possible ALS ( Conclusion: Patients with clinically suspected ALS should undergo electrophysiological testing as soon as possible, which is conducive to the early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of ALS. This trial is registered with ChiCTR2100046535.
