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

Narcolepsy with cataplexy is a complex disease with both genetic and environmental risk factors. To gain further insight into the homozygous HCRT-related narcolepsy, we present a case series of five patients from two consanguineous families, each harboring a novel homozygous variant of HCRT c.17_18del. All affected individuals exhibited severe cataplexy accompanied by narcolepsy symptoms during infancy. Additionally, cataplexy symptoms improved or disappeared in the majority of patients over time. Pathogenic variants in HCRT cause autosomal recessive narcolepsy with cataplexy. Genetic testing of the HCRT gene should be conducted in specific subgroups of narcolepsy, particularly those with early onset, familial cases, and a predominantly cataplexy phenotype.
