Status epilepticus and coma leading to death in a boy caused by Medium-chainacyl-coA dehydrogenase deficiency.
Article in Iranian journal of child neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Medium-chain acyl-coA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of fatty acid β- oxidation, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. The enzyme plays a role in hepatic Ketogenesis, which is a significant source of energy during prolonged fasting. There is no metabolic screening program except for phenylketonuria (PKU) and hypothyroidism in Iran, and such screening is exclusively implemented in the case of babies with unprovoked seizures and hypoglycemia and previous unexplained sibling deaths. In this paper, we report a case of a seven-year-old boy who presented with afebrile serial seizures leading to coma and death. IN this regard, metabolic screening tests were used to determine the exact cause of encephalopathy and the final diagnosis.
