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

We herein report a case of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) that was ultimately identified as hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) based on PMP22 gene testing. The patient exhibited gradually progressive relapsing-remitting sensorimotor symptoms without obvious nerve compression episodes and received immunotherapy for CIDP for one year without improvement. This case highlights the clinical and electrophysiological challenges of differentiating long-standing HNPP from CIDP. In refractory CIDP cases with bilateral foot drop and immunotherapy resistance, HNPP should be considered and genetic testing performed, even in the absence of a family history.
