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

Glutaric acidemia type I (GA-I) is a treatable autosomal recessive disorder of lysine, hydroxylysine, and tryptophan metabolism caused by glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) deficiency. Presentation and progression of disease are variable ranging from asymptomatic carrier state to catastrophic encephalopathy. GA-I usually presents before age 18 months, usually triggered by childhood infection, with mild or severe acute encephalopathy, striatal degeneration, and movement disorder, most often acute dystonia. At a presymptomatic stage diagnosis is suggested clinically by macrocephaly, radiologically by widened Sylvian fissures and biochemically by the presence of excess 3-hydroxyglutaric acid and glutaric acid in urine. Treatment consists of lysine-restricted diet and carnitine supplementation, specific diet restrictions, as well as symptomatic and anticatabolic treatment of intercurrent illness. Presymptomatic diagnosis and treatment are essential to prognosis. We report the case of 16-year-old macrocephalic female with late-onset GA-I and unusual paucisymptomatic presentation with fainting after exercise and widespread white matter signal changes at MRI. She was compound heterozygote for a novel mutation (IVS10-2A>G) affecting splicing at GCDH and a common missense mutation (c. 1240C>T; p.Arg402Trp, R402W). Interestingly, the site of the novel mutation is the nucleotide position of a common mutation found almost exclusively in patients of Chinese/Taiwanese origin (IVS10-2A>C).
