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

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4F (CMT4F) is a rare hereditary sensorimotor neuropathy, linked to the periaxin (PRX) gene. Early onset, pronounced sensory ataxia and comparatively moderate muscular weakness are characteristic hallmarks. We here report a child with corresponding features carrying a pathogenic PRX variant in trans with a very rare variant of uncertain significance in the 5’ untranslated region predicted to interfere with splicing. High-resolution ultrasound depicted an age-related pattern of nerve enlargement and muscle hyperechogenicity resembling other CMT4 subtypes with similar clinical and histopathological characteristics. Based on this differential analysis, we propose these genetic findings to be possibly causative.
