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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesWith targeted treatment trials on the horizon, identification of sensitive and valid outcome measures becomes a priority for >100 spastic ataxias. While digital-motor measures, assessed using wearable sensors, are considered prime outcome candidates for spastic ataxias, genotype-specific validation studies are lacking. We here aimed to identify candidate digital-motor outcomes for spastic paraplegia type 7 (SPG7)-one of the most common spastic ataxias-that (1) reflect patient-relevant health aspects, even in mild, trial-relevant disease stages; (2) are suitable for a multicenter setting; and (3) assess mobility also during uninstructed walking simulating real life.

methodsThis cross-sectional multicenter study (7 centers, 6 countries) analyzed defined laboratory-based walking and uninstructed "supervised free walking" in patients with SPG7 and healthy controls using 3 wearable sensors (Opal APDM). For the extracted digital gait measures, we assessed effect sizes for the discrimination of patients and controls (Cliff δ) and Spearman correlations with measures of functional mobility and overall disease severity (Spastic Paraplegia Rating Scale [SPRS], including mobility subscore SPRS

resultsGait was analyzed in 65 patients with SPG7 and 50 healthy controls. Among 30 hypothesis-based gait measures, 18 demonstrated at least moderate effect size (δ > 0.5) in discriminating patients from controls and 17 even in mild disease stages (SPRS DISCUSSION: We here identified trial-ready digital-motor candidate outcomes for the spastic ataxia SPG7 with proven multicenter applicability, ability to discriminate patients from controls, and correlation with measures of patient-relevant health aspects-even in mild disease stages. If validated longitudinally, these sensor outcomes might inform future natural history and treatment trials in SPG7 and other spastic ataxias.
