Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03665636 (Anaplerotic Therapy Using Triheptanoin for Patients With Glycogen Storage Disease Type I), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 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.

Abstract

backgroundBesides profound hypoglycemia with hyperlacticemia, glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD Ia) presents hypertriglyceridemia that is often resistant to dietary treatment with cornstarch. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT)--which are absorbed via the portal vein without being incorporated into chylomicrons--on hypertriglyceridemia and to explore otherwise metabolic changes in children with GSD Ia. PATIENTS AND

methodsA 13-year-old boy with GSD Ia who received a dietary treatment with MCT milk after cornstarch administration and two infants also with GSD Ia, ages 6 and 7 months, who received MCT milk after carbohydrate-rich, lipid-poor milk were enrolled. In addition to serum glucose and lactate levels, serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were serially determined. Simultaneously, serum levels of total carnitine, free carnitine, acylcarnitine, and ketone bodies were determined to evaluate fatty acid beta-oxidation.

resultsMean glucose level (mmol/l) of patient 1 remained stable, the value being around 4.5, while those of patients 2 and 3 increased to this level from 4.00 and 3.72, respectively. Lactate levels were significantly decreased in all patients. Mean triglyceride levels (mM) of patient 1 decreased from 3.00 to 2.05. Also, triglyceride levels of patients 2 and 3 decreased from 2.74 and 3.15 to 2.13 and 2.70, respectively. HDL cholesterol, acylcarnitine, and ketone body levels increased in all patients after MCT administration, while total and free carnitine levels decreased.

conclusionWe describe here the beneficial effects on lipid and carbohydrate metabolisms in three Japanese children with GSD Ia. In light of the unfavorable influence of lipid restriction on growth and development in infancy, dietary treatment with MCT milk may be a better treatment for infants with GSD Ia. Further investigation should be required to confirm the efficacy of MCT milk in GSD Ia.
