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

Isovaleric acidemia is an autosomal recessive disease of leucine metabolism. The clinical presentation is variable and three phenotypes are described, asymptomatic, acute neonatal, and chronic intermittent. Infections are the most important trigger for catabolic crises. Diagnosis is based on the detection of isovalerylglycine CoA in urine and elevated levels of isovaleryl (C5) carnitine in blood. Long-term treatment consists of prevention of catabolic state, dietary restriction, and supplementation with L-carnitine and/or L-glycine. We present the case of a three-year-old female patient with multiple episodes of decompensation since the age of two years. The episode in which she was diagnosed had encephalopathy, with no neurological sequelae. Currently, the patient continues with dietary restrictions and supplementation with good nutritional and growth results for her age.
