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

purposeTo characterize the phenotypic and genotypic variations associated with Glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA1) in Chinese patients.

methodsWe analyzed the clinical, neuroradiological, biochemical, and genetic information from 101 GA1 patients in mainland China.

results20 patients were diagnosed by newborn screening and the remaining 81 cases were identified following clinical intervention. Macrocephaly was the most common presentation, followed by movement disorders and seizures. A total of 59 patients were evaluated by brain MRI and 58 patients presented with abnormalities, with widening of the sylvian fissures being the most common symptom. The concentration of glutarylcarnitine in the blood, glutarylcarnitine/capryloylcarnitine ratio, and urine levels of glutaric acid were increased in GA1 patients and were shown to decrease following intervention. A total of 88 patient samples were available for genotyping and 74 variants within the

conclusionOur findings expand the spectrum of phenotypes and genotypes for GA1 in Chinese populations and suggest that an expanded newborn screening program using tandem mass spectrometry may facilitate the early diagnosis and treatment of this disease, improving clinical outcomes for patients in China.
