Cluster Case of Prolidase Deficiency: Varied Clinical Presentations and Management in a Sibling Trio.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Prolidase deficiency (PD) is an exceptionally rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by impaired collagen degradation, leading to the accumulation of proline-containing dipeptides. We report a cluster case of three siblings aged 17, 19, and 20 years, comprising of two sisters and one brother, who presented with non-healing ulcers on their shins and feet along with facial features of hypertelorism, depressed nasal bridge, reduced intellectual function, and high-arched palate. History and clinical features were consistent with PD. Due to the rarity of the disease and low socioeconomic background of the patients, specialized investigations or treatments were either unavailable or inaccessible. Furthermore, surgical intervention was ill-advised. Despite these challenges, patients were treated using improvised tailored therapy using three different modalities and showed remarkable progress. The evaluation and management took place at the dermatology unit of Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar, Pakistan.
