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

Objectives: Biallelic variants in Methods: Five affected individuals (4 from one family; 1 from a second family) were examined in our tertiary neurogenetics referral center. The core clinical manifestations consisted of a slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia, with subclinical evidence of sensorineural hearing loss and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism leading to premature ovarian failure in affected women. Genetic analysis was performed using a custom-targeted sequencing panel for genes associated with hereditary ataxias. Causative variants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing and segregated within the families. Peroxisomal investigations were performed on blood specimens. Results: In family A, the affected siblings born from consanguineous parents carried a novel homozygous Discussion: Our case series expand the phenotypic-genotypic spectrum of DBP deficiency and provide long-term follow-up data. While no disease-modifying treatments currently exist, diagnosis has implications for genetic counseling, particularly for reproductive planning in affected women.
