Inborn error of metabolism precipitated by COVID-19: challenges in the absence of an expanded newborn screening as state health programmes.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Inborn errors of metabolism constitute a differential diagnosis in infants presenting with encephalopathy in developing countries where expanded newborn screening is not a state health programme. Acute neurological presentation with encephalopathy is documented in paediatric COVID-19. The pandemic has also altered parents' healthcare-seeking behaviour, leading to delays in emergency care. We illustrate the challenges faced in diagnosing and managing an 18-month-old child who presented with acute metabolic crisis due to methylmalonic acidaemia on the background of the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss the current global status of expanded newborn screening services for inborn error of metabolism and the impact of the pandemic on the healthcare of children.
