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

purposeGlutaric acidemia type 1 (GA1), a rare hereditary metabolic disease caused by biallelic mutations of

methodsWe performed a retrospective chart review spanning 28 years identifying 114 GA1 patients, most from the Old Order Amish population of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, who were homozygous for a pathogenic founder variant of

resultsOver an average follow-up of 4.7 ± 3.4 years, 24 (21%) of 114 patients had musculoskeletal problems requiring orthopaedic consultation. Scoliosis (n = 14), hip dislocation (n = 8/15 hips), hip subluxation (n = 2/three hips), and windswept hip deformity (n = 2) in the spine and hip joint were most common. In total, 35 orthopaedic surgeries were performed in 17 (71%) patients. The most common primary operations were one-stage procedures with proximal femoral varus derotation osteotomy and/or pelvic osteotomy (n = 8/14 hips) for subluxation or dislocation. In all, 11 patients had posterior spinal fusion for severe scoliosis. With the recommended metabolic management, there were no disease-specific complications in this cohort.

conclusionsChildren with GA1 who have static striatal lesions are at risk for musculoskeletal complications, especially scoliosis and hip dislocation, and appropriate operative management requires consultation with a metabolic specialist with specific considerations for fluid management and nutrition. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
