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

CLCN2-related leukoencephalopathy is a rare autosomal-recessive disease caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the ClC-2 chloride channel, which is fundamental in ion and water brain homeostasis. With only 31 cases published in the literature, its precise pathophysiology is uncertain, clinical manifestations are nonspecific and little is known in terms of prognosis. Neuroimaging plays a fundamental role in the identification of CLCN2-related leukoencephalopathy, which has a typical magnetic resonance imaging pattern that, when recognized, should promote proper genetic study for diagnostic confirmation. We report a paediatric clinical case of CLCN2-related leukoencephalopathy with genetically verified c.1709G > A p(Trp570*) mutation, highlighting typical neuroimaging findings and the importance of imaging in the diagnostic approach.
