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

Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency is an X-linked urea cycle disorder which-in severe form-results in rapid accumulation of ammonia and glutamine with subsequent irreversible brain injury. We present a case of severe left ventricular dysfunction with hyperammonemic crisis caused by OTC deficiency which was managed with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support combined with continuous renal replacement therapy. Aggressive treatment led to normalization of ammonia and full left ventricular recovery.
