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

backgroundMethionine adenosyltransferase I/III (MATI/III) deficiency is the most common genetic cause of persistent isolated hypermethioninemia. Patients and Methods : This is a retrospective data analysis of 62 newborns with elevated methionine detected by newborn screening between January 2000 and June 2013. The clinical, biochemical, and molecular findings of a subset of these children with MAT1A mutations associated with MATI/III deficiency are presented.

resultsOf the 62 newborns with elevated methionine, 12 were identified as having classical homocystinuria; 37 were false-positives; and 13 were found to have isolated persistent hypermethioninemia in the absence of biochemical markers of homocystinuria, abnormal liver function studies, or other causes of elevated methionine. These 13 individuals underwent genetic testing for changes in the MAT1A gene, associated with MATI/III deficiency. Three of 13 were found to have the common autosomal dominant R264H mutation, one was found to be a compound heterozygote for two novel pathogenic mutations, and three were found to be heterozygotes for previously reported mutations shown to cause autosomal recessive MATI/III deficiency when present in homozygous or a compound heterozygous configuration. The remaining six patients had variants of unknown clinical significance or novel mutations. For the majority of individuals, methionine persisted above the normal range but trended downward over time. None of these 13 individuals was started on a low-methionine diet, and all have age-appropriate growth and development.

conclusionThese cases show that individuals with even single changes in the MAT1A gene may have elevations in methionine identified by newborn screening, which may persist for months after birth without any clinical consequences.
