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

Background: Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is an X-linked peroxisomal disorder caused by variants in the Methods: An NBS program for ALD was performed by a two-tiered dried blood spot (DBS) lysophosphatidylcholine C26:0 (C26:0-LPC) concentration analysis. Results: We identified 12 males and 10 females with Conclusion: Screening for ALD has been added to the NBS program in Taiwan with a high degree of success. The screening algorithm revealed a high proportion of null variants in cases found by NBS in Taiwan, a subset of patients who may have earlier disease onset. We also demonstrate the feasibility of combining the diagnosis of ALD and other peroxisomal disorders into one screening algorithm.
