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

Wilson's disease is characterized by hepatic and extrapyramidal movement disorders (EPS) with variable manifestation primarily between age 5 and 45. This variability often makes an early diagnosis difficult. A classification defines different clinical variants of Wilson's disease, which enables classifying the current clinical findings and making an early tentative diagnosis. Until the unequivocal proof or an autosomal recessive disorder of the hepatic copper transporter ATP7B has been ruled out, differential diagnoses have to be examined. Laboratory-chemical parameters of copper metabolism can both be deviations from the norm not related to the disease as well as other copper metabolism disorders besides Wilson's disease. In addition to known diseases such as Menkes disease, occipital horn syndrome (OHS), Indian childhood cirrhosis (ICC) and ceruloplasmin deficiency, recently discovered disorders are taken into account. These include MEDNIK syndrome, Huppke-Brendel syndrome and CCS chaperone deficiency. Another main focus is on differential diagnoses of childhood icterus correlated with age and anaemia as well as disorders of the extrapyramidal motor system. The Kayser-Fleischer ring (KFR) is qualified as classical ophthalmologic manifestation. The recently described manganese storage disease presents another rare metabolic disorder with symptoms similar to Wilson's disease. As this overview shows, Wilson's disease fits into a broad spectrum of internal and neurological disease patterns with icterus, anaemia and EPS.
