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

Background: Differentiating demyelinating from axonal polyneuropathies is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment. We hypothesized that multiparametric quantitative MRI (qMRI) of peripheral nerves can differentiate demyelination from axonal loss. This retrospective study leveraged genetically defined demyelinating and axonal polyneuropathies to test this concept. Methods: Multiparametric qMRI data of proximal (sciatic) and distal (tibial) nerves were acquired on 3T MRI, including magnetization transfer ratio (MTR), MT saturation index (MTsat), T Results: CMT1 showed significantly increased fVol versus HCs, while CMT2 demonstrated reduced T Conclusions: Multiparametric qMRI identifies distinct imaging signatures of demyelinating versus axonal hereditary polyneuropathies. The CMTIS shows strong potential as a biomarker for disease monitoring.
