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

The spinal muscular atrophies (SMA) are among the most common autosomal recessive disorders. We have performed linkage analysis using both standard restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) as well as microsatellite polymorphisms [Ca(n)] on 49 Canadian SMA families (types 1, 2, and 3) that both flank and are linked to SMA. The closest SMA linkage was observed with the MAP1B locus (zmax = 8.04, theta max = 0.0). Multipoint linkage analysis gave a high probability of SMA mapping between D5S6 and D5S39. Only one family (type 3) that fulfilled our diagnostic criteria for SMA showed nonlinkage with 5q13 markers. This study shows the feasibility of accurate molecular diagnosis of SMA utilizing 5q13 satellite polymorphisms.
