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.
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
Bethlem myopathy (BM) was first described in 1976 by Bethlem and van Wijngaarden in patients who presented a myopathy characterized by slowly progressive muscle weakness and typical flexion contractures of the long finger flexors, wrists, elbows, pectoralis muscles and ankles. Patients with Bethlem myopathy usually become symptomatic during the first or second decade of life. The condition is in most cases slowly progressive and more than two thirds of patients over 50 years of age may require aids for ambulation. Inheritance is usually autosomal dominant. However, patients with autosomal recessive (AR) BM have been recently reported in Literature. Cardiac involvement is usually absent. Respiratory muscle involvement necessitating nocturnal respiratory support is rarely reported in association with severe weakness later in life. We describe a further case of ARBM in a 52-year-old man who presented a slowly progressive myopathy but developed a severe progressive respiratory involvement requiring ventilatory support.
