Association Between Late-Onset Leukoencephalopathy With Vanishing White Matter and Compound Heterozygous EIF2B5 Gene Mutations: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (LVWM) is an autosomal recessive disease. Ovarioleukodystrophy is defined as LVWM in females showing signs or symptoms of gradual ovarian failure. We present a 38-year-old female with ovarioleukodystrophy who showed status epilepticus, gait instability, slurred speech, abdominal tendon hyperreflexia, and ovarian failure. Abnormal EEG, characteristic magnetic resonance, and unreported EIF2B5 compound heterozygous mutations [c.1016G>A (p.R339Q) and c.1157G>A (p.G386D)] were found. Furthermore, the present report summarizes 20 female patients with adult-onset ovarioleukodystrophy and EIF2B5 gene mutations. In conclusion, a new genetic locus for LVWM was discovered. Compared with previous cases, mutations at different EIF2B5 sites might have different clinical manifestations and obvious clinical heterogeneity.
