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

purposeAssociations of psychiatric and psychological symptoms with homocystinuria (HCU) have been described in multiple reports. This retrospective study was undertaken to refine the psychological phenotype among HCU patients and identify biomedical markers that could be used for prediction of those psychiatric or psychological symptoms.

methodsThis study examines the prevalence of psychological symptoms within a sample of 25 patients with classical homocystinuria.

resultsPsychological symptoms were noted in 16 of the 25 patients in the sample (64%), including a high prevalence of both anxiety (32%) and depression (32%) and correlated with IQ < 85. There was no difference in the type or the number of psychological symptoms between those diagnosed from newborn screening and early treated and those treated after 2 years of age.

conclusionThe results support the possible role of homocysteine as a risk factor for psychological and psychiatric problems and cognitive deficits and suggest that earlier diagnosis and treatment may reduce risk of their occurrences. Although early treatment clearly prevented serious medical complications, psychological and psychiatric symptoms were not associated with medical complications, highlighting the need for continued investigation.
