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

introductionHartnup disorder is caused by a deficiency of the sodium dependent B

methods27 amino acid excretion patterns from 11 patients with genetically confirmed Hartnup disorder were compared to 68 samples of 16 patients with other aminoacidurias. Amino acid fold changes were calculated by dividing the quantified excretion values over the upper limit of the age-adjusted reference value.

resultsIncreased excretion of amino acids is not restricted to amino acids classically related to Hartnup disorder ("Hartnup amino acids", HAA), but also includes many other amino acids, not classically related to Hartnup disorder ("other amino acids", OAA). The fold change ratio of HAA over OAA was 6.1 (range: 2.4-9.6) in the Hartnup cohort, versus 0.2 (range: 0.0-1.6) in the aminoaciduria cohort ( DISCUSSION: Excretion values of amino acids not classically related to Hartnup disorder are frequently elevated in patients with Hartnup disorder, which may cause misdiagnosis as generalized aminoaciduria and preclusion from vitamin B3 treatment. Calculation of the HAA/OAA ratio improves diagnostic differentiation of Hartnup disorder from other aminoacidurias.
