Article in Neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07591779 (Study of the Relationship Between Clinical and Functional Characteristics of Patients With CMT1A Disease and Their Level of Physical Activity at Home Measured Using Portable Electronic Sensors), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesCharcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A), caused by a duplication of

methodsParticipants were recruited through CMT clinics in the United States (n = 130), the United Kingdom (n = 52), and Italy (n = 32). To derive the most accurate signal with the fewest items to identify a therapeutic response, a series of validation studies were conducted including item and factor analysis, Rasch model analysis and testing of interrater reliability, discriminative ability, and convergent validity.

resultsA total of 214 participants aged 18-75 years with CMT1A (58% female) were included in this study. Item, factor, and Rasch analysis supported the viability of the 12-item CMT-FOM as a unidimensional interval scale of function in adults with CMT1A. The CMT-FOM covers strength, upper and lower limb function, balance, and mobility. The 0-100 point scoring system showed good overall model fit, no evidence of misfitting items, and no person misfit, and it was well targeted for adults with CMT1A exhibiting high inter-rater reliability across a range of clinical settings and evaluators. The CMT-FOM was significantly correlated with the CMT Examination Score ( DISCUSSION: The CMT-FOM is a psychometrically robust multi-item, unidimensional, disease-specific COA covering strength, upper and lower limb function, balance, and mobility to capture how participants with CMT1A function to identify therapeutic efficacy.
