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

A 72-year-old Brazilian woman presented with a 4-year history of rest tremors of the hands, followed by slowness of movement, and a diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease. She was started on dopamine agonists with significant improvement. After three years, she complained about slowly progressive dysphagia, dysphonia, quadriparesis, and cramps and fasciculations. A neurological examination disclosed distal-dominant quadriparesis, dysarthria, atrophy and fasciculation of the tongue, global brisk tendon reflexes, fasciculations, bilateral ankle clonus, and moderate spasticity of the lower limbs. She had also palpitations, dyspnea, and one episode of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Electrocardiography revealed a short PR interval, a widened QRS complex, and the delta wave, suggestive of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Brain and spine MR imaging, a cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and general serum lab exams were unremarkable. Needle electromyography disclosed chronic denervation involving cervical, thoracic, lumbosacral, and bulbar levels associated with acute denervation, including positive sharp waves, fasciculations, and fibrillation potentials. This patient fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis associated with parkinsonism. A broad next-generation sequencing-based panel disclosed the presence of the novel heterozygous variant c.1247C > T (p.Pro416Leu) in the
