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

Objectives: To investigate the genetic etiology of a familial case with spastic paraplegia. Methods: Neurological examination, clinical and genetic work-up, including exome sequencing (ES), followed by targeted testing, were performed to determine the underlying etiology of the patients' phenotype. Results: A 45-year-old man was initially diagnosed with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy in early childhood. He underwent multiple orthopedic interventions for lower extremities spasticity and progressive gait disturbance. His son developed similar neurological symptoms at 2-years of age. Despite unremarkable initial work-up, their relatively similar slowly progressive phenotype was suggestive of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). ES was performed for the son at age 11 years, followed by cascade single testing for the father, which revealed a heterozygous (monoallelic) likely pathogenic variant [NM_001244008.2: c.947G > A (p.Arg316Gln); chr2-240775862] in exon 10 of the Discussion:
