Severe Pressure Ulcers in Two Patients With Adrenoleukodystrophy.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare X-linked disease that affects the metabolism of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), leading to cognitive deterioration, progressive spastic paraplegia, sensory disturbance, adrenocortical insufficiency, and bladder and bowel abnormalities. Although the symptoms of ALD correspond to the risk of developing pressure ulcers, a pressure ulcer has never been listed as a complication of ALD. We present two cases of ALD with severe pressure ulcers in the pelvic region and feet. The first case was a 27-year-old male patient with adolescent cerebral-type ALD who had pressure ulcers with bone exposure on the sacral and bilateral greater trochanter region. The second case was a 64-year-old male patient with adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) phenotype who had pressure ulcers on the sacral region and both feet. Both patients had VLCFA accumulation and a likely pathogenic variant in the
