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

Glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD Ia) is a rare disease caused by a deficiency of hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase). Here, we report a 17-year-old Chinese boy with GSD Ia. Clinical manifestations of the patient included hepatomegaly, growth retardation, doll face, and biochemical abnormalities, including hypoglycaemia, hyperuricaemia, and hyperlipidaemia. The computed tomography (CT) and gadolinium ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed multiple masses in the left and right hemiliver. These masses presented as different dynamic enhanced patterns in the Gd-EOB-DTPA MRI. In addition, a large amount of glycogen deposit was detected in the liver tissue biopsy. Liver puncture confirmed that the masses were hepatocellular adenomas (HCAs). Genetic analyses confirmed the presence of liver metabolic disease, and the final clinical diagnostic was GSD Ia. The patient's clinical manifestations were significantly improved following regular treatment with raw corn starch for 9 months. Unfortunately, it was suspected that parts of the adenoma had undergone malignant transformation.
