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

The authors present a case report of a boy with a classical form of phenylketonuria and Alazami syndrome. The inborn error of phenylalanine metabolism was diagnosed in the neonatal period based on population new-born screening. Despite early implementation of a low-phenylalanine diet and good biochemical control, the patient developed behavioural disorders and intellectual disability. He also presented with dysmorphic features. After long and extensive attempts to establish the genetic cause of this unusual phenotype, finally, at the age of 16 the boy was diagnosed with Alazami syndrome based on whole exome sequencing. The authors discussed the problem of neuropsychological disorders in patients with phenylketonuria and described typical clinical symptoms of Alazami syndrome. It was emphasized that the presence of one monogenic disease does not exclude the coexistence of another one.
