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

Wolfram syndrome is a rare, multisystemic, progressive, and autosomal-recessive genetic disease, characterized by diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus, optic nerve atrophy, deafness, and other neurological signs. The diagnosis is usually based on history and clinical manifestations but genetic tests are necessary for confirmation. Currently, there are no treatments available to cure or delay disease progression. This report describes a case of a 23-year-old male diagnosed with Wolfram syndrome who presented to the emergency department with several episodes of loss of consciousness. This case reinforces the need for an early diagnosis of obstructive and central apneas, respiratory failure, and dysphagia, in order to prevent and treat the complications of this disease and to improve patients' quality of life.
