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

backgroundHereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of rare genetic neurodegenerative disorders characterized by corticospinal tract abnormalities. But frequently, abnormalities of proteins implicated in HSP have been identified in brain disorders of childhood, raising the possibility that early brain developmental mechanism underlying HSP. RESULTS AND

conclusionsHere we summarized the clinical features of 89 HSP subtypes and found most have onset of symptoms earliest reported in infancy or early childhood. Importantly, HSP patients showed early brain developmental related phenotypes such as microcephaly, ventricular enlargement, and corpus callosum dysplasia. In addition, the expression trajectories analysis showed HSP genes were diffusely expressed across all human prenatal cortical regions and most genes enriched from post-conception weeks 8-24, periods characterized by neuro progenitor proliferation and neurogenesis. Furthermore, studies utilizing patient derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)/organoids and mouse models have suggested that most HSP proteins play either direct or indirect roles in the development of the central nervous system. Therefore, HSP possesses a neurodevelopmental aspect and is not merely a degenerative disease, which may aid in better understanding the pathogenesis of this disease.
