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

Respiratory chain disorders comprise a heterogeneous group of diseases that are the result of mutations in nuclear or mitochondrial genes. TMEM70 encodes a nuclear protein involved in the assembly of respiratory chain complex V. Although mutations in various genes can result in isolated complex V deficiency; TMEM70 mutations represent the most common reported etiology. TMEM70 deficiency is known to cause a syndrome of neonatal mitochondrial encephalocardiomyopathy, accompanied by elevated lactate and hyperammonemia. Elevated citrulline has been reported previously in different inborn errors of metabolism, although uncommonly associated with TMEMT70 deficiency. We present a series of two siblings diagnosed with TMEM70 deficiency, and describe hypercitrullinemia during decompensation as a new finding in this condition. The cause of hyperammonemia in TMEM70 deficiency was previously assumed to be related to carbamoyl phosphate synthase 1 deficiency, but our finding of hypercitrullinemia rules out this possibility. We thus propose a different etiology for the hyperammonemia seen in these patients.
