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

backgroundMutations in the ATP13A2 gene have been implicated in various neurodegenerative disorders, including Kufor-Rakeb syndrome (KRS), neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL), hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This report presents two Iranian families with ATP13A2 variants exhibiting atypical features of KRS. CASES: We highlight four patients from two consanguineous Iranian families with mutations in the ATP13A2 gene presenting with variable features of motor neuron disease as well as juvenile-onset parkinsonism, and cognitive decline. The onset of symptoms ranged from 11 to 29 years, with initial manifestations including gait disturbance, postural instability, and cognitive impairment. As the disease progressed, patients developed a range of neurological signs, such as dystonia, spasticity, and dysarthria.

conclusionThis report expands the phenotypic spectrum of ATP13A2-related disorders, highlighting the potential overlap of symptoms associated with KRS, ALS, and HSP.
