Pharmacological and nutritional treatment trials in McArdle disease.
Synthesis in Acta myologica : myopathies and cardiomyopathies : official journal of the Mediterranean Society of Myology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A systematic review of evidence for randomised controlled trials using pharmacologic and nutritional therapies in McArdle disease was undertaken. Primary outcome measures included any objective assessment of exercise endurance. Secondary outcome measures included changes in metabolic parameters, subjective measures such as quality of life scores and adverse outcomes. Ten randomised controlled trials were identified. Two trials low dose creatine (60 mg/kg/day) and oral sucrose 75 g prior to exercise demonstrated a positive effect.
