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

backgroundDisorders related to dysfunction of coenzyme (CoQ

methodsWe describe two new cases of neurological syndromes due to ADCK3 mutations that obtained striking benefit from CoQ10, and a third who did not. We also review 20 cases from the literature in which responses to CoQ10 were documented out of all 38 previously reported cases.

resultsDespite the remarkable responses in some cases with ataxia and movement disorders (myoclonus, dystonia, tremor), overall, we were not able to identify variables that predicted response to CoQ

conclusionsBased on our experience and data from the literature, we recommend a minimum of 10 mg/kg/day of ubiquinone with titration up to 15 mg/kg/day, maintained at least for 6 months in order to obtain or exclude potential benefit from therapy.

Indexed as
