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

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a rare, progressive, incurable neurodegenerative disorder that affects motor neurons leading to progressive muscle weakness, disability, and eventually death. A 45-year-old male, initially presented with hoarseness, flickering of tongue, and intermittent aspirations. In course of three years, patient developed motor aphasia, frequent aspirations and an inability to hold his neck. Patient was diagnosed with a bulbar onset type of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis on the basis of neurodegenerative features with normal radiographic imaging. For the prevention of recurrent aspiration pneumonia, he was managed with a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube. As he started developing respiratory failure tracheostomy was performed and kept on a continuous bi-level positive airway pressure ventilator, in the meantime, two courses of injection Edaravone were given. Early evaluation, diagnosis and management of the condition is a cornerstone for better prognosis of disease and survival. Keywords: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; aspiration pneumonia; case reports; edaravone.
