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

[Purpose] Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by decreased transmitter secretion from neuromuscular junctions and nerve terminals. Such cases require physical therapy for independently performing daily activities; however, care must be taken to avoid overwork weakness. This study aimed to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise-based physical therapy in patients with LEMS. [Participants and Methods] We report a case of LEMS with decreased muscle endurance due to inactivity. The participant was subjected to physical therapy with an exercise modality-improved muscle endurance with low-intensity repetitions, while monitoring subjective exercise intensity over time. [Results] The participant achieved independence activities of daily living without developing overwork weakness. [Conclusion] Appropriate physical therapy is an important aspect in treating LEMS.
