Wilson's Disease: Diagnosis in Novel Way.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Wilson's disease first described by Kinnier Wilson in 1912, is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder involving a defect in copper metabolism. This disease affects between one in 30,000 to one in 100,000 individuals and has a carrier frequency of one in every 90. It is characterized by hepatic and neurological symptoms. The usual age of presentation is 4 to 40 years but this disorder has been detected in children as young as three years and adults as old as 70 years with males and females being equally affected. Diagnosing Wilson's disease at the earliest is crucial as it is not only progressive and fatal if untreated, but also responds promptly to medication. Here we are going to present a novel way to diagnose a case of Wilson disease in a resource-limited setting. The diagnosis was possible with detailed present and past history raising strong clinical suspicion of environmental or genetically related disease. The diagnosis was done in a novel way by first diagnosing in daughter thereafter confirming the same diagnosis in patient.
