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: Aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessive neurometabolic disorder with heterogeneous phenotype, including hypotonia, movement disorders, autonomic dysfunction, and developmental delay. Here, we reported a Chinese patient with AADCD who was initially misdiagnosed with epilepsy. Case presentation: The proband was a 4-month-old Chinese girl, representing hypotonia, episodes of oculogyric crises with dystonia, and delayed developmental milestones. The patient was first misdiagnosed with epilepsy because of the similarity between episodes of oculogyric crisis and epileptic seizure. The accurate diagnosis of AADCD was established through analysis of neurotransmitters in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The genetic test confirmed the patient carried novel compound heterozygous mutations in the Conclusion: This study reported a patient with AADCD who was initially misdiagnosed as epilepsy. Two novel missense mutations in the
