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

backgroundMutations in the

methodsHaving searched through three electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO), 18 articles describing 65 patients with homozygous or compound heterozygous

resultsThe most common mutation identified in our systematic review was the (c.1516A>C) followed by the (c.1582G>A). In our review, 60% percent of the patients died within the first 4 years of life. Clinical features were similar across the sample. Unfortunately, however, there is no record of the natural history data in the surviving patients. The 12-year follow-up of our patient revealed a slow improvement in her clinical course, identifying muscle MRI as the only possible marker of disease progression.

conclusionsDue to its clinical and genotype homogeneity, KLHL40-related myopathy may be a condition that would greatly benefit from the development of new gene therapies; muscle MRI could be a good biomarker to monitor disease progression.
