Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase Deficiency in a University Immunology Practice.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
purposeThis report describes the clinical manifestations of 35 patients sent to a University Immunology clinic with a diagnosis of fatigue and exercise intolerance who were identified to have low carnitine palmitoyl transferase activity on muscle biopsies. RECENT
findingsAll of the patients presented with fatigue and exercise intolerance and many had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Their symptoms responded to treatment of the metabolic disease. Associated symptoms included bloating, diarrhea, constipation, gastrointestinal reflux symptoms, recurrent infections, arthritis, dyspnea, dry eye, visual loss, and hearing loss. Associated medical conditions included Hashimoto thyroiditis, Sjogren's syndrome, seronegative arthritis, food hypersensitivities, asthma, sleep apnea, and vasculitis. This study identifies clinical features that should alert physicians to the possibility of an underlying metabolic disease. Treatment of the metabolic disease leads to symptomatic improvement.
