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

Background: Barth syndrome is a rare genetic disease characterized by cardiomyopathy, skeletal muscle weakness, neutropenia, growth retardation and organic aciduria. This variable phenotype is caused by pathogenic hemizygous variants of the Case presentation: We describe herein a family case, specifically two Caucasian male cousins sharing the same mutation in the Conclusions: Our report supports the underestimation of the prevalence of Barth syndrome, which should be always considered in the differential diagnosis of male patients with recurrent neutropenia with or without signs and symptoms of cardiomyopathy.
