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

Central nervous system (CNS) demyelination is an uncommon observation in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). Where it does occur, it is usually associated with X-linked CMT. We present a case of CMT type 1A with a likely de novo mutation who experienced initial symptoms, and subsequent exacerbation, of multiple sclerosis following respiratory infection. A review of the literature reveals that reports of CMT1A with CNS demyelination are rare. We propose that the mutations in the PMP22 gene result in an over-expression of PMP22 mRNA, which overcomes the normal suppression by miRNA species that occurs in the CNS. This abnormal expression of PMP22 protein may, in certain circumstances, exacerbate autoimmune responses to result eventually in CNS demyelination.
