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

TSFM is a nuclear gene encoding the elongation factor Ts (EFTs), an essential component of mitochondrial translational machinery. Impaired mitochondrial translation is responsible for neurodegenerative disorders characterized by multiple respiratory chain complex defects, multisystemic involvement, and neuroradiological features of Leigh-like syndrome. With the use of a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based multigene panel for mitochondrial disorders, we identified the novel TSFM homozygous variant c.547G>A (p.Gly183Ser) in a 5-year-old boy with infantile early onset encephalocardiomyopathy, sensorineural hearing loss, and peculiar partially reversible neuroimaging features. Our findings expand the phenotypic spectrum of TSFM-related encephalopathy, offering new insights into the natural history of brain involvement and suggesting that TSFM should be investigated in pediatric mitochondrial disorders with distinctive neurologic and cardiac involvement.
