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

Seven phenotypically homogeneous Mediterranean myoclonus families were studied using DNA markers from the genetically defined EPM1 region on chromosome 21. No recombinations between the disease phenotype and the markers studied were detected. Within the EPM1 region, the highest lod score value of 5.07 (at theta = 0.00) was reached at locus PFKL. Significant allelic association (P = 0.02) between the disease mutation and PFKL was detected suggesting a founder effect in Mediterranean myoclonus. However, haplotype data using four marker loci residing within 300 kb of each other and of EPM1 suggest the occurrence of more than one mutation. The data are compatible with Mediterranean myoclonus being caused by mutations in the EPM1 gene and strengthen the concept that a large subset of progressive myoclonus epilepsies conforms with Unverricht-Lundborg disease and that this subset is an etiologically homogeneous entity.
