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

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) belong to a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by psychomotor regression, seizures, and visual impairment, resulting from intracellular accumulation of lipofuscin. CLN5, a subtype typically manifesting between ages 4 to 17, is particularly rare in non-Finnish populations. Here, we report the first Japanese case of CLN5 in a 12-year-old girl with progressive myoclonic epilepsy and psychomotor regression. Initial assessments for common metabolic disorders, including GM2 gangliosidosis, were inconclusive. Trio-based genome sequencing (GS) identified a novel homozygous pathogenic variant in
