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

introductionPeroxisomal D-bifunctional protein (DBP) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder historically described as a Zellweger-like syndrome comprising neonatal seizures, retinopathy, hearing loss, dysmorphic features, and other complications. The PATIENT REPORTS: Patient 1 presented neonatally with hypotonia and seizures, and later on developed global developmental delay and regression, sensorineural hearing loss, nystagmus and cortical blindness. The brain MRI demonstrated bilateral peri-sylvian polymicrogyria. Whole exome sequencing revealed 2 mutations in the DISCUSSION: We describe 4 patients with variable and diverse clinical picture of DBP deficiency and particularly emphasize the clinical, biochemical, and neuroimaging characteristics. Interestingly, the clinical phenotype varied even between patients with the exact two mutations in the
