Biochemical data in ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) carrier risk estimation: logistic discrimination and combination with genetic information.
Article in Journal of human genetics, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
One-fifth of the gene mutations causing ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency cannot be detected. In such cases carrier risk estimation must refer to biochemical data-such as increased plasma glutamine concentration or increased orotidine excretion after allopurinol load -although these parameters do not yield a definite diagnosis. Here, I derive odds for carrier risk estimation from published data, i.e. from mean and standard deviation of glutamine concentrations in carriers and noncarriers, assuming normal distributions, and from allopurinol test results in individual carriers and noncarriers using logistic regression. I show how such biochemical information may be combined with genetic information, thus demonstrating the usefulness of biochemical data. The necessity to assess individual results in larger proband groups and to consider possible correlations between different parameters is indicated.
