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

Congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM) is the most severe form of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), typically presenting in the neonatal period with hypotonia, respiratory distress, and feeding difficulties. Neuroimaging findings in neonates with CDM are rarely described. We present a genetically confirmed case of CDM in a neonate who demonstrated restricted diffusion in the genu and splenium of the corpus callosum (CC). The patient developed respiratory failure at three weeks of age and required mechanical ventilation. The brain MRI performed 11 days after onset revealed restricted diffusion in the genu and splenium of the CC. The follow-up imaging at four months showed resolution of diffusion restriction and mild atrophy of the genu. Genetic testing confirmed CDM with 1000-1150 trinucleotide (CTG) repeats. We considered that the diffusion restriction observed in this patient may have been evidence of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy associated with slowly progressive respiratory failure in CDM.
