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

Background: The concept of a myopathy with associated tremor ("myogenic tremor") in humans has been previously described for specific We provide a detailed electrophysiological characterization of the tremor syndrome in a human individual with a myopathy and this pathogenic MYH7 variant to provide further insight in the phenotypic spectrum and pathomechanism of myogenic tremors in skeletal sarcomeric myopathies. Methods: Electromyographic recordings were obtained from facial muscles, as well as bilateral upper and lower extremities. Results: 10 to 11 Hz activity was observed in the face and extremities during recordings with muscle activation. There were intermittent episodes of significant left-right coherence that would modulate across muscle groups throughout the recording, but no coherence between muscles at different levels of the neuraxis. Conclusions: A possible explanation for this phenomenon is that the tremor originates at the sarcomere level within muscles, which is then picked up by muscle spindles and leads to activating input to the neuraxis segment. At the same time, the stability of the tremor frequency does suggest the presence of central oscillators at the segmental level. Thus, further studies will be needed to determine the origin of myogenic tremor and to better understand the pathomechanism.
