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

Nemaline myopathy belongs to the group of congenital non-progressive myopathies; however, in rare cases death occurs in early infancy. We report two cases of rapidly fatal nemaline myopathy. The first patient, who died at the age of 26 months, showed atrophy of type 1 fibers containing numerous rods in biopsy sections. Biopsy of the second patient, who had died at the age of 5 months, revealed severe maturational arrest and myopathy, but rods were so rare that diagnosis could only be made at the ultrastructural level. Autopsy of both patients showed that atrophy of type 1 fibers and maturational arrest had disappeared in the very same muscles; rods had moved to a central position in the first and significantly increased in number in the second case. Diaphragma muscles contained abundant amounts of rods in both cases. The cardiac musculature showed a few rods only in the first patient, who had developed heart insufficiency 11 months prior to death. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that rods did not contain desmin or ubiquitin.
