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

Short-chain-acyl-CoA-dehydrogenase (SCAD) deficiency is an inborn error of mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism caused by rare mutations as well as common susceptibility variations in the SCAD gene. We describe the case of a 23-year-old male patient who had growth and mental retardation, recurrent vomiting, fever and seizures since infancy. Urinary gas chromatography and (1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance showed elevated levels of ethylmalonic acid. Serum concentrations of acylcarnitine, especially butyrylcarnitine (C4), were abnormally high. A homozygous variant allele of the SCAD gene, 625G>A, was detected. The patient broadens the clinical phenotype of SCAD deficiency and underlines the difficulty of diagnosis. The limited number of patients described may be the result of underdiagnosis.
