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

backgroundAlkaptonuria (AKU; OMIM:203500) is a classic Mendelian genetic disorder described by Garrod already in 1902. It causes urine to turn black upon exposure to air and also leads to ochronosis as well as early osteoarthritis. Our objective is the implementation of a Precision Medicine (PM) approach to AKU. We present here a novel ApreciseKUre database facilitating the collection, integration and analysis of patient data in order to create an AKU-dedicated "PM Ecosystem" in which genetic, biochemical and clinical resources can be shared among registered researchers. In order to exploit the ApreciseKUre database, we developed an analytic method based on Pearson's correlation coefficient and P value that generates as refreshable correlation matrix. A complete statistical analysis is obtained by associating every pair of parameters to examine the dependence between multiple variables at the same time. SHORT

conclusionsEmploying this analytic approach, we showed that some clinically used biomarkers are not suitable as prognostic biomarkers in AKU for a more reliable patients' clinical monitoring. We believe this database could be a good starting point for the creation of a new clinical management tool in AKU, which will lead to the development of a deeper knowledge network on the disease and will advance its treatment. Moreover, our approach can serve as a personalization model paradigm for other inborn errors of metabolism or rare diseases in general.
