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 and Objectives: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative condition of the brain and spinal cord in which protein-coding variants in known ALS disease genes explain a minority of sporadic cases. There is a growing interest in the role of noncoding structural variants (SVs) as ALS risk variants or genetic modifiers of ALS phenotype. In small European samples, specific short SV alleles in noncoding regulatory regions of Methods: Using short-read whole genome sequencing (WGS) data, we investigated putative ALS-susceptibility Results: There was no association with previously reported Discussion: We did not replicate the reported association of
