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

A 32 year-old asymptomatic male came to our attention with a 21-year history, documented elsewhere, of puzzling increases in his serum transaminase level. At first, very low serum ceruloplasmin level suggested Wilson disease. Two liver biopsies showed mild portal inflammation, steatosis and mild fibrosis. Further investigation revealed low levels of the glycoproteins AT III and clotting factor XI, leading to a diagnosis of congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) type II. Further studies as to the cause of this 'apparently new' CDG, are ongoing. On the basis of our data and a literature review, we suggest that subjects with asymptomatic hypertransaminasaemia be screened for CDG.
