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

Glutaric aciduria type 1 is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase, which is the key mitochondrial enzyme involved in the final degradation of lysine, L-hydroxylysine, and L-tryptophan. It is an inherited organic acidemia characterized by macrocephaly and dystonia, which results in high morbidity and mortality. In resource-limited countries like Nepal, where enzyme assays are not available, MRI has a great role to play in supporting diagnosis in such situations. Here, we present 2 cases of glutaric aciduria type 1 in brothers from the same parent that were diagnosed by MRI, and subsequent diet modification and L-carnitine therapy led to improvement of clinical symptoms.
