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

Although Leigh syndrome (LS) is a neurodegenerative disorder of infancy, adult-onset LS has also been rarely reported. We report a case of late-onset LS in a 42-year-old female who presented with protracted gastrointestinal manifestations, chronic headaches, ataxia, and loss of consciousness. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed hyperintensities in the bilateral basal ganglia and brain stem. Serum and cerebrospinal fluid lactate levels were significantly raised. Muscle biopsy showed reduced cytochrome oxidase (COX) activity. She was diagnosed with probable diagnosis of late-onset LS based on her clinical features, radiological findings, biochemical results, and biopsy findings. She responded well to intravenous thiamine, and her symptoms gradually improved.
