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

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an uncommon crippling hereditary condition that primarily affects the motor neurons in the spinal cord, resulting in skeletal muscle weakness and atrophy. Skeletal muscle is an important regulator of glucose, amino acid, and lipid homeostasis and is a protein reservoir of the body. Atrophy of the skeletal muscle can affect locomotion, general metabolism, eating, and respiration. Maintaining skeletal muscle mass and strength throughout life is essential for longevity and good health. Currently, orofacial muscle electromyographic evaluation and digital occlusion analysis serve as a functional assessment tool and source of crucial information for diagnostic clarification in neuromuscular disorders related to the stomatognathic system. The article presented here highlights the electromyographic and digital occlusion analysis of a rare case of SMA type II with cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) in an 11-year-old male patient.
