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

Leigh syndrome (LS) is most frequently characterized by the presence of focal, bilateral, and symmetric brain lesions Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL) is a rare condition, characterized by progressive pyramidal, cerebellar, and dorsal column dysfunction. We describe a case with infantile-onset neurodegeneration, psychomotor retardation, irritability, hypotonia, and nystagmus. Brain MRI demonstrated signal abnormalities in the deep cerebral white matter, corticospinal and dorsal column tracts, and pyramids, which resemble the MRI pattern of a severe form of LBSL, and involvement of basal ganglia and thalamus that resemble the radiological features of LS. We identified biallelic loss-of-function mutations, one novel (c.756delC, p.Thr253Glnfs*44) and another reported (c.1156C > T, p.Arg386Cys), in
