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

Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare metabolic disorder that is challenging to diagnose and treat. Symptoms are nonspecific and severe acute attacks may be life-threatening. This is a case of a previously healthy 21-year-old woman diagnosed with an acute attack of AIP following recurrent hospitalizations with undiagnosed abdominal pain over a 12-month period with gradual onset of motor neuropathy which resulted in complete paralysis and respiratory failure. Through our case, we will highlight the challenges in AIP diagnosis and management, its potential severity, and how an early diagnosis could have prevented severe disability.
