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

Genetic alterations in the ERCC4 gene typically cause Xeroderma pigmentosum and other nucleotide excision repair disorders. Neurologic symptoms are present in some of these patients. In rare cases, ERCC4-mutations can manifest with prominent neurologic symptoms. We report a 62-year-old woman who presented with a movement disorder caused by a homozygous pathogenic variant in the ERCC4 gene. She presented with a hyperkinetic movement disorder (chorea) that affected the distal limbs as well as facial muscles and jaw. There was no ataxia. Extensive clinical evaluation revealed predominantly fronto-parietal and cerebellar atrophy on brain MRI with sparing of the basal ganglia and mesial temporal lobe. Iron and sparse Ca
