Review in Journal of inherited metabolic disease, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Three decades after the first description of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, major progress has been achieved in the prevention of acute striatal necrosis and neurological sequelae in affected children, if diagnosis is made early and treatment is started before manifestation of acute encephalopathic crises. However, all concepts for diagnostic work-up, monitoring, and treatment are solely experience-based, and 10-35% of early-diagnosed children do not or only incompletely benefit from the current management. They still develop neurological deterioration and sequelae despite early implementation of dietary treatment, carnitine supplementation and emergency treatment during acute intercurrent illnesses. International efforts should be made to move management of affected children from experience-based to evidence-based medicine. Major tools for this optimization are the establishment of an international patients' database, the implementation of an international prospective clinical study, and the development of international guidelines for diagnostic work-up, monitoring and therapy.
