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

Adult-onset cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy is potentially treatable but often difficult to recognize before advanced cerebral involvement. Herein, we describe three men with early-stage disease who initially presented with subtle visual complaints rather than subcortical dementia. Targeted neuropsychological testing revealed higher-order visual dysfunction and posterior interhemispheric disconnection signs, including visual-field-dependent reading or naming deficits and dichotic listening abnormalities. Diffusion tensor imaging showed preferential involvement of posterior callosal and visual stream-related white-matter pathways. These findings define a posterior disconnection phenotype of adult-onset cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy and provide a clinically useful framework for early recognition and timely therapeutic consideration of this treatable leukodystrophy.
