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

Introduction and importance: Sodium channel myotonia (SCM) belongs to the group of sodium channelopathies with mutations involving Case presentation: The child presented with generalized muscle hypertrophy and stiffness involving arms, thighs, calves, chest, and back muscles with unusually prominent trapezius muscle. The parents described the warm-up phenomenon as an improvement in stiffness as the day passes and with repetitive action. Percussion myotonia was illustrated in the thenar eminence and trapezius muscle. Characteristic 'dive-bomber' sound was present in electromyography, and whole-exome sequencing revealed a novel Ile239Thr mutation in the Clinical discussion: This case presents a pure myotonic phenotype without episodes of weakness or paralysis. Generalized myotonia with muscle hypertrophy and demonstrating warm-up phenomenon resembles myotonia congenita (a chloride channelopathy). However, genetic analysis revealed a novel Ile239Thr mutation involving Conclusion: This case limelight sodium channel myotonia with a novel Ile239Thr mutation in
