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

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare degenerative disease of motor neurons, predominantly sporadic, with approximately 10% of the cases showing familial inheritance.To characterize the clinical and sociodemographic profile of patients with familial ALS type 8 (fALS8) and compare it with sporadic ALS (sALS).We reviewed the medical records (1997-2022) from a specialized Brazilian center. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of ALSs were included, and sociodemographic and clinical data were collected.The sample was composed of 89 ALS patients, with a slight female predominance (53%) and a high frequency of fALS8 cases (45%). The fALS8 patients were diagnosed at a younger age, at approximately 50 years, compared to 53 years among the sALS patients (
