The Hepatic Porphyrias: Revealing the Complexities of a Rare Disease.
Review in Seminars in liver disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The porphyrias are a group of metabolic disorders that are caused by defects in heme biosynthesis pathway enzymes. The result is accumulation of heme precursors, which can cause neurovisceral and/or cutaneous photosensitivity. Liver is commonly either a source or target of excess porphyrins, and porphyria-associated hepatic dysfunction ranges from minor abnormalities to liver failure. In this review, the first of a three-part series, we describe the defects commonly found in each of the eight enzymes involved in heme biosynthesis. We also discuss the pathophysiology of the hepatic porphyrias in detail, covering epidemiology, histopathology, diagnosis, and complications. Cellular consequences of porphyrin accumulation are discussed, with an emphasis on oxidative stress, protein aggregation, hepatocellular cancer, and endothelial dysfunction. Finally, we review current therapies to treat and manage symptoms of hepatic porphyria.
