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

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is caused by mutations in the tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) gene in an autosomal recessive or dominant manner and characterized by defective mineralization of bone and low serum ALP levels. In this report, we present a family with HPP mother (case 1) and HPP child (case 2) who have identical TNSALP gene mutation (c.1015G>A p.Gly339Arg heterozygous mutation) but distinct clinical phenotypes. Whereas case 1 appeared to be asymptomatic despite extremely low levels of serum ALP, case 2 had several HPP-related symptoms, such as tooth loss, fractures, short stature, with slightly decreased ALP levels. Upon the diagnosis of HPP, case 1 discontinued denosumab, which was used to treat her rheumatoid arthritis, concerning the risk of atypical femoral fractures. The clinical course of this family was suggestive in a genotype-phenotype imbalance in HPP, the underdiagnosis of HPP in adults, and the risk of atypical femoral fractures using bone resorption inhibitors.
