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

Glutaric aciduria type I (GA I), a cerebral organic acidaemia with the potential for severe neurological consequences, can now be detected by tandem mass spectrometry newborn screening. Early detection with implementation of careful management strategies appears to lessen the likelihood of neurological damage. We assessed the outcome in all 10 GA I patients detected in New South Wales during the last decade. Three patients were detected clinically and 7 by newborn screening. Diagnosis was confirmed by detection of significantly elevated urinary 3-hydroxybutyrate and glutarate in urine, isolated elevation of glutarylcarnitine in plasma, typical clinical and MRI findings in several, and mutation analysis or enzyme analysis on cultured skin fibroblasts in 4 cases. The birth frequency was 1:90,000. Following diagnosis, treatment was initiated in all children with oral carnitine (100 mg/kg per day) and a low-protein diet supplemented with a lysine-free, low-tryptophan amino acid formula. Disability was assessed in fields of motor, cognitive and speech development and scored according to Kyllerman. Clinically diagnosed patients were all symptomatic, with severity scores (out of 9) of 3, 5 and 9. Six of seven patients detected by newborn screening are asymptomatic, 4 being aged 2-6 years. One patient had a severe decompensation at 7 months, despite full management advice and treatment, and later died. Our data support previous findings that early diagnosis reduces neurological complications, but show that even with early diagnosis and careful management severe complications may ensue in some.
