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

We report a case of mild cavitating leukoencephalopathy associated with a homozygous c.755A > G (p.Asp252Gly) NDUFS1 mutation in a 7-year old boy. Biochemical analysis confirmed an isolated reduction in complex I activity. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed a diffuse cystic leukoencephalopathy with the involvement of the corpus callosum and sparing of the gray matter. The clinical course was marked by an acute presentation of neurological deficits at 24 months followed by recurrent episodes of mild neurological deterioration, subsequent remissions, and prolonged periods of stability. This is one of the mildest known clinical presentations of complex I deficiency secondary to mutations in NDUFS1, expanding the clinical spectrum and natural history of this disorder. Consideration of clinical variability needs to be taken into account in patient management and family counseling.
