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

Although the precise mechanisms underlying the CNS degeneration of patients with glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) deficiency are still the subject of intense debate, many studies have highlighted that excitotoxicity plays a fundamental role in the neuropathology of this disease, particularly involving the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors. Modulation of the glutamatergic system by these compounds involves an inhibition of glutamate uptake into synaptosomes and synaptic vesicles, and a decrease in glutamate binding. Furthermore, glutaric and 3-hydroxyglutaric acids inhibit glutamate decarboxylase, the key enzyme of GABA synthesis, and striatal GABAergic medium-spiny neurons are highly vulnerable to 3-hydroxyglutaric acid-induced neurotoxicity. In conclusion, glutaric acid and 3-hydroxyglutaric acid induce an imbalance in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission.
