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

Objectives: In this study, we describe a 54-year-old Indian woman who presented with clinical features of Kufs syndrome A (KSA) and Kufs syndrome B (KSB), as well as neuropathologic and genetic findings consistent with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 13 (CLN13). Subsequently, we review the clinicopathologic features of 20 patients with CLN13 reported in the literature. Methods: Data and imaging were obtained from the patient's medical records. The patient was examined neuropathologically, and next-generation sequencing was performed. Results: Clinical radiologic scans revealed bilateral cortical atrophy, ventriculomegaly, a thin corpus callosum, and cerebellar vermian atrophy. Pathologic examination was remarkable for NCL. Postmortem genetic testing revealed a homozygous Discussion: CLN13 was clinically heterogeneous. Most patients with CLN13 (14/20) did not present with classic KSB (KSB-I). Instead, 6 patients presented with KSB-II, 4 patients presented with KSC (including the present patient), and 3 patients presented with dementia. Our results expand the CLN13 clinical spectrum and emphasize the importance of screening
