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

backgroundSpinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disease characterized by loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord and lower brainstem. The term "SMA" usually refers to the most common form, 5q-SMA, which is caused by biallelic mutations in

methodsWe conducted a non-systematic critical review to identify the characteristics of each SMA disease.

resultsMany of the non-5q-SMA diseases have similar symptoms, making DNA analysis of patients essential for accurate diagnosis. Currently, genetic analysis technology using next-generation sequencers is rapidly advancing, opening up the possibility of elucidating the pathology and treating non-5q-SMA.

conclusionBased on accurate diagnosis and a deeper understanding of the pathology of each disease, treatments for non-5q-SMA diseases may be developed in the near future.
