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

Introduction: Poretti-Boltshauser Syndrome (PBS) is a rare neuro-ophthalmological disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance. It is characterized by non-progressive cerebellar ataxia, delay in neuropsychomotor development, intellectual disability, and vision abnormalities. PBS is caused by mutations in the Case presentation: We present two siblings with Conclusion: This study highlights intrafamilial variability in patients with Poretti-Boltshauser Syndrome (PBS). Patient 1 exhibits more pronounced cerebellar dysplasia (with cysts) and oculomotor apraxia, while Patient 2 shows milder cerebellar dysplasia (without cysts) and a macular hole. These findings underscore the importance of comprehensive evaluation and genetic testing for accurate diagnosis and management of PBS.
