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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsHereditary neuropathies are a group of genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous neuropathies. These are classified into: hereditary sensory motor neuropathy (HSMN) aka Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), distal motor neuropathy (dMN), hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy (HSAN), episodic neuropathies and polyneuropathy as part of a complex clinical presentation. The aim of this study was to determine final diagnoses in patients referred from the tertiary center in Serbia under suspicion of hereditary neuropathy. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This research included 340 patients directed for genetic testing from the Neurology Clinic, University Clinical Center of Serbia during the period from 2009 to 2023, who underwent complete genetic analyses available.

resultsThe most prominent demyelinating neuropathy was group consisted of patients with CMT1A (93 (27.3%)), followed by CMT1B (10 (2.9%)). In the group of patients with axonal form of the disease, the most prevalent was the one with pathogenic variant in HINT1 (18 (5.3%)). Nineteen (5.6%) patients have had variants in GJB1 gene. DMN group was composed of seven (2%) patients. HSAN was final diagnosis in 2 (0.6%) patients. Group of 16 (4.7%) patients have had neuropathy as part of a complex clinical presentation. In 70 (20.6%) patients no significant genetic variant was found, even though clinical presentation was highly suggestive of hereditary neuropathy.

interpretationIn line with other populations, CMT1A was the most common cause of hereditary neuropathy in Serbia. The axonal cohort predominantly included patients with variants in the HINT1 gene, which represents a population-specific characteristic. These findings highlight the importance of targeted genetic analysis in diagnosing hereditary neuropathies in certain populations.
