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

Classically, methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is characterized on imaging by abnormalities in the basal ganglia, specifically the globus pallidi, as well as occasional signs of delayed maturation. We report a case of MMA in which abnormal signal and diffusion restriction occurred in the subcortical white matter, sparing the classically involved globus pallidi, a situation that has not been previously reported in the literature. This report demonstrates that diffusion abnormality can be seen in the white matter in MMA, in the absence of basal ganglia involvement, and that MMA may be considered when the diagnosis of metabolic acidemias is raised.
