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

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rapidly progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prion proteins. In about 85% of patients, CJD occurs as a sporadic disease with no recognizable pattern of transmission. Sporadic CJD (sCJD) can present with rapid cognitive and functional decline, memory deficits, myoclonus, pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs, and visual deficits. The large spectrum of phenotypic variability has made the recognition of prion diseases difficult, and given the rare incidence, it is not uncommon for it to be missed as a potential diagnosis. We present a highly unusual case of a 76-year-old woman with rapidly progressive sCJD who died within five weeks of presentation. Our case demonstrates a typical sequence of symptoms, with rapidly progressive dementia and cerebellar signs at disease onset and myoclonus later in the disease course.
