A novel TFG variant of uncertain significance in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: A case report and review of literature.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Introduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease with wide variation of genetics associated with it. Among the different genes described, mutation in TFG is a rare finding in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Case presentation: A 35 years old right-handed male presenting with ipsilateral weakness was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He was found to have missense variant of TFG with uncertain significance on exome sequencing. Clinical discussion: The genetics involved in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is ever-evolving. The identification of new TFG variant in this disease adds another evidence to the role of TFG in neurodegenerative disease. Conclusions: The finding of TFG variant of uncertain significance is a rare finding in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. And with the identification of new TFG variant, it leads to further understanding of spectrum of TFG and its pathophysiology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
