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

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is a group of inherited neuromuscular disorders with diverse clinical features such as muscle weakness and atrophy of the distal regions, foot deformities, sensory loss and decreased or absent reflexes. With the diverse inheritance patterns including dominant, recessive, and X-linked, it exhibits significant genetic heterogeneity often overlapping with other neurological disorders. Whole exome sequencing (WES) has emerged as favorable diagnostic tool for such challenging disease entities. We recruited five Pakistani families that consisted of 14 affected individuals exhibiting representative symptoms of CMT such as severe muscle weakness of the lower limbs, muscles atrophy, claw hands and feet deformities. WES data analysis revealed two novel and two already reported homozygous missense variants in
