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 Objectives: The aim of this study was to present a case report of the first familial case of multiple sclerosis (MS) in an X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth family with a novel variant in Methods: Clinical, neurophysiologic, neuroimaging, and genetic assessments were performed on 9 affected members of a large X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMTX) family, including 2 who also developed MS. The 2 family members with CMTX and MS were screened for pathogenic variants in 245 genes associated with MS. We tested 150 independent patients with MS, 48 familial and 102 sporadic for rare pathogenic variants in Results: A novel missense pathogenic variant (c.502T > G, p.Cys168Gly) in Discussion: This is a novel report of a familial case of MS related to the novel variant in GJB1. Although our report adds additional evidence for the increased risk of MS in carriers of pathogenic variants in GJB1, we demonstrate that genetic variation in GJB1 is not a common risk factor, neither in familial nor sporadic MS.
