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

Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) refers to a group of heterogeneous neurological disorders mainly characterized by corticospinal degeneration (pure forms), but sometimes associated with additional neurological and extrapyramidal features (complex HSP). The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has led to huge improvements in knowledge of HSP genetics and made it possible to clarify the genetic etiology of hundreds of "cold cases," accelerating the process of reaching a molecular diagnosis. The different NGS-based strategies currently employed as first-tier approaches most commonly involve the use of targeted resequencing panels and exome sequencing, whereas genome sequencing remains a second-tier approach because of its high costs. The question of which approach is the best is still widely debated, and many factors affect the choice. Here, we aim to analyze the diagnostic power of different NGS techniques applied in HSP, by reviewing 38 selected studies in which different strategies were applied in different-sized cohorts of patients with genetically uncharacterized HSP.
