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

GLUT1 Deficiency Syndrome (GLUT1-DS) is a rare and potentially treatable neurometabolic condition, caused by a reduced glucose transport into the brain and clinically characterized by an epileptic encephalopathy with movement disorders. A wide inter-intrafamilial phenotypic variability has been reported. Very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency is an inherited metabolic disorder of mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid oxidation (FAO) with also a variable age of onset and clinical presentation including cardiomyopathy, hypoketotic hypoglycemia, and liver disease. Sometimes, VLCAD manifests later with a prevalent muscle involvement characterized by exercise intolerance and recurrent rhabdomyolysis. We report a 40-year-old man with mild mental retardation and sporadic choreo-athetoid movements, who complained of recurrent episodes of rhabdomyolysis triggered by exercise or fasting since his twenties. His 15-year-old son had a psychomotor developmental delay with episodes of drowsiness mainly at fasting and exercise-induced choreo-athetoid movements but no history of pigmenturia. Clinical and laboratory findings in the son suggested a diagnosis of GLUT1-DS confirmed by
