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

DIDMOAD is usually considered an autosomal recessive condition, with wide phenotypic variation, but the possibility of mitochondrial mutations occurring in this condition has been considered. A 19 year old man presented with long standing diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and grand mal seizures. Further investigations showed unilateral sensorineural hearing loss and the most common mitochondrial DNA mutation associated with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy, which was inherited from his mother. This suggests the DIDMOAD phenotype is a mitochondrial disorder in some cases and is likely to have a heterogeneous aetiology.
