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

Abetalipoproteinemia (ABL) is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein gene (MTTP). ABL is characterized by lack of lipids and apolipoprotein B (apoB) in plasma, fat malabsorption and various clinical manifestations. We describe a 12-month-old infant boy, born from consanguineous parents and presented with diarrhea, steatorrhea, growth retardation, hypothyroidism, intraventricular brain cyst and kidney stones. The patient was diagnosed to have ABL and treated with dietary modification and oral fat-soluble vitamin replacement and followed until he reached 5 years of age.
