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

Mitochondrial myopathies are frequently recognized in childhood as part of a broader multisystem disorder and often overlooked in adulthood. Herein, we describe the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum and long-term outcomes of mitochondrial myopathies diagnosed in adulthood, focusing on neuromuscular features, electrodiagnostic and myopathological findings and survival. We performed a retrospective chart review of adult patients diagnosed with mitochondrial myopathy at Mayo Clinic (2005-21). We identified 94 patients. Median time from symptom onset to diagnosis was 11 years (interquartile range 4-21 years). Median age at diagnosis was 48 years (32-63 years). Primary genetic defects were identified in mitochondrial DNA in 48 patients (10 with single large deletion, 38 with point mutations) and nuclear DNA in 29. Five patients had multiple mitochondrial DNA deletions or depletion without nuclear DNA variants. Twelve patients had histopathological features of mitochondrial myopathy without molecular diagnosis. The most common phenotypes included multisystem disorder (
