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

Porphyrias are rare metabolic disorders caused by inherited or acquired enzymatic defects in the heme biosynthetic pathway. They are grouped into acute hepatic porphyrias and photocutaneous porphyrias. Acute intermittent porphyria, the most prevalent subtype of acute hepatic porphyrias, is caused by a mutation in the hydroxymethylbilane synthase gene. In this work, a case of a 13 year-old Indian female presenting with multi-organ involvement (Neurological: episodic seizures, behavioral abnormalities, acute onset progressive flaccid-motor quadriparesis, multiple cranial nerve palsies, respiratory paralysis, dysautonomia, and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome; Gastrointestinal: recurrent attacks of abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, isolated transaminitis, and acute pancreatitis; and Renal: metabolic alkalosis and refractory dyselectrolytemia) which resulted in significant diagnostic dilemmas. She was eventually diagnosed as a case of acute intermittent porphyria harboring a novel hydroxymethylbilane synthase gene mutation (p.Arg173Trp).
