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

We present the results of clinical and molecular genetic investigations of a family in which the father suffers from distal spinal muscular atrophy and the younger son is affected by infantile autosomal recessive SMA type I. The molecular analysis of the SMN gene showed homozygous deletions of telSMN exons 7 and 8 in the son only. This was probably the result of a new mutation in the paternal haplotype, since the affected boy did not inherit one copy of the marker Ag1-CA. These results indicate that distal and proximal SMA in this family are not caused by the same gene on chromosome 5q.
