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

Ataxiatelangiectasia (A-T) is an infrequent genetic neurodegenerative disorder inherited autosomal recessively. It is mainly characterized by early-onset progressive cerebellar ataxia and dilated capillaries in the oculocutaneous regions especially conjunctivae so-called telangiectasia. A-T is a multisystem disorder and requires multi-disciplinary approach to management. Diagnosis is difficult in some cases because presentation is not in the same manner and showing a phenotypic spectrum. In atypical cases serum immunoglobulins and alfa fetoprotein are normal and telangiectasia is absent. We present a 5.5-year-old boy with progressive cerebellar ataxia and history of repeated sino-pulmonary infections that was homozygote for ataxia-telangiectasia mutated gene and had a giant arachnoid cyst in left hemisphere. It is important to keep in mind those cases with ataxia and repeated sino-pulmonary infections may be ataxia telangectasia patients. Genetic study is helpful and confirms the diagnosis by showing ataxia-telangiectasia mutated gene.
