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

Elastic pseudoxanthoma is a rare disease with autosomal recessive inheritance, also known as Grönblad-Strandberg syndrome, characterized by pathological mineralization of the elastic fibers in the connective tissue, affecting principally the dermis of skin, media, and intima of blood vessels and Bruch's membrane of the eye. The genetic defect of the disorder is located on chromosome 16p13.1 and disease is caused by the lack of functional ABCC6 protein, which in turn causes extracellular accumulation and deposition of calcium and other minerals in the elastic tissue. In this article we present two cases of this rare disease. We emphasize, in the diagnostic criteria, the importance of its early diagnosis and the current therapeutic approaches.
