Adolescence Onset Primary Coenzyme Q10 Deficiency With Rare CoQ8A Gene Mutation: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Clinical medicine insights. Case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Background: Primary deficiency of coenzyme Q Case report: We provide a case of adolescence-onset ataxia, head tremor, and proximal muscle weakness accompanied by psychiatric features and abnormal serum urea (49.4 mg/dL), lactate (7.5 mmol/L), and CoQ10 level (0.4 µg/mL). Brain-MRI demonstrated cerebellar atrophy, thinning of the corpus callosum, and loss of white matter. Whole exome sequencing showed a homozygous missense mutation (c.911C>T; p.A304V) in CoQ8A gene which is a rare mutation and responsible variant of CoQ Conclusion: These observations highlight the significance of the early diagnosis of potentially treatable CoQ8A mutation as well as patient education and follow-up. Our findings widen the spectrum of CoQ8A phenotypic features so that clinicians be familiar with the disease not only in severe childhood-onset ataxia but also in adolescence with accompanying psychiatric problems.
