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

Organic acidurias (OADs) are inherited neurometabolic diseases largely caused by deficiencies in enzymes involved in amino acid degradation, which result in accumulation of organic acids in the brain and other tissues. Disease presentation usually occurs in infancy, although late-onset variants can emerge during childhood or adulthood. Patients predominantly manifest with acute encephalopathy with life-threatening systemic manifestations (classical OADs) or progressive neurological symptoms (cerebral OADs), leading to permanent cerebral abnormalities. Some OADs are treatable, and early diagnosis and treatment implementation have substantially decreased the mortality and overall morbidity from OADs. However, long-term irreversible cerebral and systemic complications are frequent because the therapeutic options are currently limited. The pathophysiology of brain dysfunction is still unclear in most OADs, and further investigation is needed to enable the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This Review focuses on current knowledge of the OADs, including epidemiology, short-term and long-term neurological and systemic features, diagnosis and prognosis, and recent advances in therapy and pathophysiology. The goal of the article is to alert neurologists and related health professionals to the existence and importance of these neurometabolic diseases and to stimulate research into the damaging factors that contribute to their neurodegenerative sequelae.
