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
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is autosomal dominant metabolic disorder of adulthood with limited case reports in children. Literature review from Western countries shows that most children present with non-specific gastrointestinal and neuropsychiatric symptoms with no family history. Moreover, the attacks are recurrent and precipitated by various factors (drugs/infection). We describe the case of 11-year-old male child who presented with acute abdominal pain, seizures, hypertension, quadriparesis, neuropathy, and respiratory weakness necessitating ventilatory and intensive care. Diagnosis of AIP was suspected on basis of bedside urine testing and confirmed with hydroxymethylbilane synthase gene mutation study. Besides supportive therapy, child was managed successfully with intravenous hemin, an orphan drug, which was procured with great difficulty. This case is presented for highlighting the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges faced in management of such cases in a developing country. We also review Indian literature for similar cases and discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of AIP in children.
