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

Iron-sulfur cluster assembly 2 (ISCA2)-related multiple mitochondrial dysfunction syndrome 4 (MMDS4) is a fatal autosomal recessive mitochondrial leukoencephalopathy. The disease typically manifests with rapid neurodevelopmental deterioration during the first months of life leading to a vegetative state and early death. MRI demonstrates a demyelinating leukodystrophy. We describe an eleven-year-old boy with a milder phenotype of ISCA2 related disorder manifesting as: normal early development, acute infantile neurologic deterioration leading to stable spastic quadriparesis, optic atrophy and mild cognitive impairment. The first MRI demonstrated a diffuse demyelinating leukodystrophy. A sequential MRI revealed white matter rarefaction with well-delineated cysts. The patient harbors two novel bi-allelic variants (p.Ala2Asp and p.Pro138Arg) in ISCA2 inherited from heterozygous carrier parents. This report expands the clinical spectrum of ISCA2-related disorders to include a milder phenotype with a longer life span and better psychomotor function and cavitating leukodystrophy on MRI. We discuss the possible genetic explanation for the different presentation.
