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

Gaucher's disease is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism. As the presentation of this disease is similar to more common diseases like malaria, portal hypertension, hematological disorders, and kala-azar, this rare disease may not be thought of as a differential diagnosis, and a high index of suspicion is required to avoid diagnostic delay. We report a case of type 1 Gaucher's disease in an adult male born out of a consanguineous marriage. He was from a region where the prevalence of infectious diseases and sickle cell anemia is high. He presented with abdominal distension, hepatosplenomegaly, and pancytopenia. Bone marrow biopsy showed the presence of Gaucher cells. Glucocerebrosidase levels showed decreased enzyme activity. The genetic study revealed a very rare mutation that has not been reported in the 1000 Genomes database till now. Retrospectively, the most important clue was his birth out of a consanguineous marriage of his parents.
