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

Chiari malformation type 1 (CM1) is a structural defect that involves the herniation of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum, causing mild to severe neurological symptoms. Little is known about the molecular and developmental mechanisms leading to its pathogenesis, prompting current efforts to elucidate genetic drivers. Inherited genetic disorders are reported in 2-3% of CM1 patients; however, CM1, including familial forms, is predominantly non-syndromic. Recent work has focused on identifying CM1-asscoiated variants through the study of both familial cases and de novo mutations using exome sequencing. This article aims to review the current understanding of the genetics of CM1. We discuss three broad classes of CM1 based on anatomy and link them with genetic lesions, including posterior fossa-linked, macrocephaly-linked, and connective tissue disorder-linked CM1. Although the genetics of CM1 are only beginning to be understood, we anticipate that additional studies with diverse patient populations, tissue types, and profiling technologies will reveal new insights in the coming years.
