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

backgroundGlycogen storage disease (GSD) is a relatively rare inborn metabolic disorder, our study aims to investigate the genotypic and clinical feature of hepatic GSDs in China.

methodsThe clinical and genotypic data of 49 patients with hepatic GSDs were collected retrospectively and analyzed.

resultsAfter gene sequencing, 49 patients were diagnosed as GSDs, including GSD Ia (24 cases), GSD IIIa (11 cases), GSD IXa (8 cases), GSD VI (3 cases) and GSD Ib (3 cases). About 45 gene variants of G6PC, AGL, PHKA2, PYGL, and SLC37A4 were detected; among which, 22 variants were unreported previously. c.648G>T (p. Leu216Leu) of G6PC exon 5 is the most common variant for GSD Ia patients (20/24,83.33%), splice variant c.1735+1G>T of AGL exon 13 is relatively common among GSD IIIa, while novel variant accounts for the majority of GSD IXa and GSD VI patients. As for clinical features, there was no significant difference in the onset age among group GSD Ia, GSD IIIa, and GSD IXa, but the age at diagnosis and average disease duration from diagnosis of GSD Ia were significantly higher than GSD IIIa and GSD IXa. Body weight of GSD patients was basically normal, but growth retardation was relatively common among them, especially for GSD Ia patients; and renomegaly was only found in GSD Ia. Besides, serum cholesterol, triglyceride, lactic acid, and uric acid in GSD Ia were significantly higher than those with GSD IIIa and IXa (p < 0.05); but ALT, AST, CK, and LDH of GSD III and GSD IXa were significantly higher when compared to GSD Ia (p < 0.05).

conclusionsAll hepatic GSDs patients share similarity in clinical and biochemical spectrum, but delayed diagnosis and biochemical metabolic abnormalities were common in GSD Ia. For family with GSD proband, pedigree analysis and genetic testing is strongly recommended.
