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

objectivesTo investigate the clinical characteristic and genetic variants of children with carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2) deficiency.

methodsThe clinical and genetic data of 6 children with CPT2 deficiency were retrospectively analyzed. The blood acylcarnitines and genetic variants were detected with tandem mass spectrometry and whole-exon gene sequencing, respectively.

resultsThere were 4 males and 2 females with a mean age of 32 months (15 d-9 years) at diagnosis. One case was asymptomatic and with normal laboratory test results, 2 had delayed onset, and 3 were of infantile type. Three cases were diagnosed at neonatal screening, and 3 cases presented with clinical manifestations of fever, muscle weakness, and increased muscle enzymes. Five children presented with decreased free carnitine and elevated levels of palmitoyl and octadecenoyl carnitines.

conclusionsThe clinical phenotypes of CPT2 deficiency are diverse. An early diagnosis can be facilitated by neonatal blood tandem mass spectrometry screening and genetic testing, and most patients have good prognosis after a timely diagnosis and treatment.
