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

backgroundProgressive myoclonic epilepsy is a heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early-onset myoclonus, epilepsy, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and progressive neurological deterioration. Recently, a CGG repeat expansion and increased CSNK1E DNA methylation have been shown to be associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.

objectiveTo identify structural variants or repeat expansions associated with progressive myoclonic epilepsy in an Azerbaijani family using long-read sequencing.

methodsKnown genetic causes of progressive myoclonic epilepsy were ruled out through quadro-exome sequencing in an individual exhibiting tonic-clonic seizures, dementia, and cerebellar ataxia with an age at onset of 10 years. After ruling out the presence of any other pathogenic mutation, long-read whole genome sequencing was performed to investigate structural variants or repeat expansions potentially associated with the disease.

resultsWe identified a heterozygous expanded (CGG)

conclusionsWe suggest the association of the CSNK1E-CGG expansion with incomplete penetrance in an Azerbaijani case with progressive myoclonic epilepsy, broadening its phenotypic spectrum. Our findings support the utility of long-read sequencing and methylation analysis as powerful approaches to identifying and characterizing disease-associated expanded repeats. © 2025 The Author(s).
