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

aimTo systematically characterize the phenotypic spectrum, neuroimaging features, heteroplasmy-phenotype correlation, and prognosis of the m.10191 T > C mutation.

methodsWe collected and analyzed data from 52 patients (14 newly recruited; 38 from literature). Phenotypes were pre-classified as Leigh syndrome (LS), Leigh-like syndrome (LLS), MELAS/LS overlap syndrome, and MELAS-like syndrome. Neuroimaging data were subjected to statistical analysis to explore inter-lesional associations and lesion-symptom correlations. Heteroplasmy level underwent k-means clustering and latent class analysis (LCA) to define data-driven subgroups and model genotype-phenotype correlations. Prognostic factors were evaluated through Bayesian logistic regression, and survival analysis was conducted.

resultsThe cohort exhibited phenotypic heterogeneity, dominated by LS (46.2%). Key features included epilepsy, developmental delay, and dystonia. Globus pallidus involvement frequently co-occurred with midbrain and pontine lesions. Heteroplasmy level differed significantly across phenotypes. LCA identified three classes corresponding to clinical phenotypes. High heteroplasmy level, medullary involvement, and severe hyperlactatemia were associated with disease progression. Survival analysis indicated a 5 year survival rate of 80.0%, with high heteroplasmy level, hypotonia, and cerebellar lesions predicting poorer survival.

interpretationThe m.10191 T > C mutation is linked to a continuous clinical spectrum correlated with heteroplasmy level. Specific clinical and neuroimaging features serve as valuable biomarkers for phenotypic classification and prognostic assessment.
