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

Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) (OMIM 276700) is a severe inherited metabolic disease affecting mainly hepatic and renal functions that leads to a fatal outcome if untreated. HT1 results from a deficiency of the last enzyme of tyrosine catabolism, fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH). Biochemical findings include elevated succinylacetone in blood and urine; elevated plasma concentrations of tyrosine, methionine and phenylalanine; and elevated tyrosine metabolites in urine. The HT1 frequency worldwide is about 1 in 100,000 individuals. In some areas, where the incidence of HT1 is noticeably higher, prevalence of characteristic mutations has been reported, and the estimated incidence of carriers of a specific mutation can be as high as 1 out of 14 adults. Because the global occurrence of HT1 is relatively low, a considerable number of cases may go unrecognized, underlining the importance to establish efficient prenatal and carrier testing to facilitate an early detection of the disease. Here we describe the 95 mutations reported so far in HT1 with special emphasis on their geographical and ethnic distributions. Such information should enable the establishment of a preferential screening process for mutations most predominant in a given region or ethnic group.
