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

backgroundAlthough changes in the tyrosine pathway during nitisinone therapy are known, a complete characterization of the induced tyrosinaemia is lacking to improve disease management. PATIENTS AND

methodsOur research aims were addressed by 24-h blood sampling. 40 patients with alkaptonuria (AKU), treated with 0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 mg nitisinone daily (

resultssNIT showed a clear dose-proportional response. sTYR increased markedly but with less clear-cut dose responses after nitisinone. Fasting and average 24-h (C DISCUSSION: There was sustained tyrosinaemia after four weeks of nitisinone therapy with significant fluctuations over the day in individual patients. Diet and degree of conversion of HPPA to HPLA may determine extent of nitisinone-induced tyrosinaemia.

conclusionA fasting blood sample is recommended to monitor sTYR during nitisinone therapy Adaptations in HPPA metabolites as well as the inhibition of tyrosine aminotransferase could be contributing factors generating tyrosinaemia during nitisinone therapy.
