Casein Glycomacropeptide: An Alternative Protein Substitute in Tyrosinemia Type I.
Article in Nutrients, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Tyrosinemia type I (HTI) is treated with nitisinone, a tyrosine (Tyr) and phenylalanine (Phe)-restricted diet, and supplemented with a Tyr/Phe-free protein substitute (PS). Casein glycomacropeptide (CGMP), a bioactive peptide, is an alternative protein source to traditional amino acids (L-AA). CGMP contains residual Tyr and Phe and requires supplementation with tryptophan, histidine, methionine, leucine, cysteine and arginine.
aimsa 2-part study assessed: (1) the tolerance and acceptability of a low Tyr/Phe CGMP-based PS over 28 days, and (2) its long-term impact on metabolic control and growth over 12 months.
methods11 children with HTI were recruited and given a low Tyr/Phe CGMP to supply all or part of their PS intake. At enrolment, weeks 1 and 4, caregivers completed a questionnaire on gastrointestinal symptoms, acceptability and ease of PS use. In study part 1, blood Tyr and Phe were assessed weekly; in part 2, weekly to fortnightly. In parts 1 and 2, weight and height were assessed at the study start and end.
resultsNine of eleven children (82%), median age 15 years (range 8.6-17.7), took low Tyr/Phe CGMP PS over 28 days; it was continued for 12 months in
conclusionsIn HTI children, CGMP was well tolerated, with no deterioration in metabolic control or growth when studied over 12 months. The efficacy of CGMP in HTI needs further investigation to evaluate the longer-term impact on blood Phe concentrations and its potential influence on gut microflora.
