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

We describe a 14-month-old boy, with a previous diagnosis of propionic acidemia (PA) by expanded newborn screening, who, admitted for a suspected metabolic crisis, tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Since propionic acidemia was diagnosed, the patient has followed the recommended diet for this inborn error of metabolism. Although propionic acidemia patients are at a high risk of suffering metabolic crises, frequently associated with permanent clinical complications, psychomotor development of this patient was normal. The SARS-CoV-2 infection (at about 1 year of age) caused the patient's first metabolic crisis. However, his clinical course was in keeping with a mild clinical form of COVID-19, and he recovered without experiencing severe clinical consequences. We describe this patient in order to improve the knowledge about follow up of PA patients identified by newborn screening and to increase the limited number of reports of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children with comorbidities, especially inborn errors of metabolism.
