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

Alpha-methyl acyl-CoA racemase deficiency (AMACRD) is a rare peroxisomal disorder that results in the accumulation of pristanic acid and 16 cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we present three additional patients, two confirmed by genomic study and one suspected. Three siblings who were born to healthy unrelated parents developed recurrent episodes of encephalopathy, seizures, and behavioral disturbances. In all 3, brain MRI showed lesions in the thalami, cerebral peduncles, and mesencephalic tegmentum, as well as brain volume loss. In addition, one patient had a chronic hemispheric infarct and an acute contralateral infarct, and another had a subacute infarct involving multiple vascular territories without abnormalities on MR angiography.
