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

The Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the ALDH3A2 gene, which codes for fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH). FALDH prevents the accumulation of toxic fatty aldehydes by converting them into fatty acids. Pathogenic ALDH3A2 variants cause symptoms such as ichthyosis, spasticity, intellectual disability, and a wide range of less common clinical features. Interpreting patient-to-patient variability is often complicated by inconsistent reporting and negatively impacts on establishing robust criteria to measure the success of SLS treatments. Thus, with this study, patient-centered literature data was merged into a concise genotype-based, open-access database (www.LOVD.nl/ALDH3A2). One hundred and seventy eight individuals with 90 unique SLS-causing variants were included with phenotypic data being available for more than 90%. While the three lead symptoms did occur in almost all cases, more heterogeneity was observed for other frequent clinical manifestations of SLS. However, a stringent genotype-phenotype correlation analysis was hampered by the considerable variability in reporting phenotypic features. Consequently, we compiled a set of recommendations of how to generate comprehensive SLS patient descriptions in the future. This will be of benefit on multiple levels, for example, in clinical diagnosis, basic research, and the development of novel treatment options for SLS.
