Estimating the Prevalence of GNE Myopathy Using Population Genetic Databases.
Article in Human mutation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
GNE myopathy (GNEM) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive skeletal muscle wasting starting in early adulthood. The prevalence of GNEM is estimated to range between one and nine cases per million individuals, but the accuracy of these estimates is limited by underdiagnosis, misdiagnosis, and bias introduced by founder allele frequencies. As GNEM is a recessive disorder, unaffected carriers of single damaging variants can be expected to be found in the healthy population, providing an alternative method for estimating prevalence. We aim to estimate the prevalence of GNEM using allele frequencies obtained from healthy population genetic databases. We performed a review to establish a complete list of all known pathogenic GNEM variants from both literature and variant databases. We then developed standardized filtering steps using in silico tools to predict the pathogenicity of unreported
