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

The pathophysiology of genetic peripheral demyelinating and axonal neuropathies typically differs from that of central demyelinating diseases. However, case reports in the literature have demonstrated instances where these distinct disorders can manifest concurrently. In our report, we describe the case of a 53-year-old woman with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A since childhood who presented in middle age with optic neuritis. Her clinical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging results met criteria for multiple sclerosis and outpatient f/u was established in the Neuroimmunology clinic. Existing case reports for other subtypes of Charcot-Marie-Tooth have noted co-occurrence with multiple sclerosis. The underlying pathophysiology remains unknown but multiple theories and comparisons with other neurologic diseases exist. We review these and also emphasize the importance of future disease specific investigations in cases of co-occurrence to unveil new opportunities for therapeutic advancements.
