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

Although the retina is thought to primarily rely on glucose for fuel, inherited deficiency of one or more activities of mitochondrial trifunctional protein results in a pigmentary retinopathy leading to vision loss. Many other enzymatic deficiencies in fatty acid oxidation pathways have been described, none of which results in retinal complications. The etiology of retinopathy among patients with defects in trifunctional protein is unknown. Trifunctional protein is a heteroctomer; two genes encode the alpha and beta subunits of TFP respectively, HADHA and HADHB. A common mutation in HADHA, c.1528G>C, leads to a single amino acid substitution, p. Glu474Gln, and impairs primarily long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD) activity leading to LCHAD deficiency (LCHADD). Other mutations in HADHA or HADHB often lead to significant reduction in all three enzymatic activities and result in trifunctional protein deficiency (TFPD). Despite many similarities in clinical presentation and phenotype, there is growing evidence that they can result in different chronic complications. This review will outline the clinical similarities and differences between LCHADD and TFPD, describe the course of the associated retinopathy, propose a genotype/phenotype correlation with the severity of retinopathy, and discuss the current theories about the etiology of the retinopathy.
