Pregnancy in MNGIE: a clinical and metabolic honeymoon.
Article in Annals of clinical and translational neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is an inherited disease caused by a deficiency in thymidine phosphorylase and characterized by elevated systemic deoxyribonucleotides and gastrointestinal (GI) and neurological manifestations. We report the clinical and biochemical manifestations that were evaluated in a single patient before, during, and after pregnancy, over a period of 7 years. GI symptoms significantly improved, and plasma deoxyribonucleotide concentrations decreased during pregnancy. Within days after delivery, the patient's digestive symptoms recurred, coinciding with a rapid increase in plasma deoxyribonucleotide concentrations. We hypothesize that the clinico-metabolic improvements could be attributed to the enzyme replacement action of the placental thymidine phosphorylase.
