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: Peripheric nerve hyperexcitability (PNH) syndromes are a rare, heterogenous group of diseases characterized by continuous muscle overactivity due to spontaneous discharges of the lower motor neurons. Case Series: Here we report four patients presented with painful cramps, generalized muscle twitches and lower extremity weakness. All patients had evidence of neuropathy and neuromyotonic discharges on electrodiagnostic studies. Screening for a broad panel of anti-neuronal antibodies proved uncharacterized neuropil antibodies in one patient. Despite extensive serologic and genetic investigations, no definitive etiology was found in our cohort. One out of three patients responded well to immunotherapy. No other diseases including malignancy appeared for 1.5-3 years follow-up duration. Conclusion: Our case series indicate a putatively high prevalence of neuropathy in PNH and emphasize anti-neuronal antibody positivity and early diagnosis as potential favorable prognostic factors.
