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

backgroundInborn errors of cobalamin (Cbl) absorption and metabolism form a large group of rare diseases that include Cbl-C disorder. Among the renal complications of Cbl-C disorder, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is the least common and has been described only in a small number of cases. CASE-DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT: Four patients were admitted to our clinic after 15-30 days of life with vomiting associated with poor sucking, failure to thrive, lethargy and hypotonia. Examinations showed thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia associated with renal damage. The neonates had high blood homocysteine levels, increased urinary levels of both homocystine and methylmalonic acid, increased propionylcarnitine (C3) levels and an increased C3/acetylcarnitine ratio. Homozygosity for c.271-272dupA (p.Arg91LysfsX14) of the MMACHC gene was detected in three patients, and heterozygosity for c.271-272dupA and c.666C > A(p.Tyr222X) in one patient, which confirmed the diagnosis of Cbl-C disorder. Treatment with parenteral hydroxycobalamin in combination with folic acid and betaine gradually normalized the metabolic test findings and hematological and renal parameters after about 1 week.

conclusionsAtypical HUS in neonates with Cbl-C disorder may be associated with mild to moderate renal involvement also in early-onset disease, and early adequate therapy can reverse renal damage.
