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

Nonketotic hyperglycinemia, also known as glycine encephalopathy (OMIM #605899), is an autosomal recessive disorder of glycine metabolism resulting from a defect in the glycine cleavage system. We report two novel mutations of the glycine decarboxylase (GLDC) gene observed in a compound heterozygous state in a neonate of mixed Maori and Caucasian parentage: c.395C>T p.(Ser132Leu) in exon 3, and c.256-?_334+?del p.(Ser86Valfs*119), resulting in an out-of-frame deletion of exon 2. Additionally, we describe our experience of implementing the ketogenic diet, alongside standard pharmacological therapy, and highlight its potential therapeutic benefit in severe nonketotic hyperglycinemia, particularly in seizure management.
