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

Background: Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a progressive multisystemic neurodegenerative disease. The phenotypic spectrum includes conditions (variant A-T) with mild, late-onset, and atypical clinical presentations characterized by the prevalence of dyskinetic rather than ataxic features. Cases: We describe the clinical presentations of 3 siblings with early-onset truncal ataxia without obvious neurological deterioration or biological markers of classic A-T phenotype. We performed functional and genetic evaluation of 3 siblings with very mild neurological phenotype. Genetic evaluation with a next-generation sequencing panel for genes causative of cerebellar ataxia detected 2 known ATM gene variants, missense c.9023G>A p.(Arg3008His), and leaky splicing c.1066-6T>G variants. Functional studies showed mildly reduced ATM expression and residual kinase activity in the probands compared with healthy controls. Conclusions: These results suggest the importance of investigating ATM variants even in the presence of clinical and biological atypical cases to ensure specific therapeutic regimens and oncological surveillance in these patients.
