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

Glutaric aciduria type 2 is a rare inborn disease of fatty acid metabolism. The clinical manifestation of this disease is heterogeneous and ranges from severe neonatal forms to mild late-onset forms. We present a case of a previously healthy 22-year-old woman with unexplainable hypoglycemia and encephalopathic hyperammonemia. Acylcarnitine profile and organic acids analysis were compatible with glutaric aciduria type 2. On suspicion of this disease, the patient started supplements with carnitine and riboflavin, along with hemodialysis with a complete recovery. The genetic test confirmed the diagnosis. Glutaric aciduria type 2 has no cure and the metabolic decompensation can be a severe event, but treatable and preventable, if this pathology gets recognized.
