Glycodeoxycholic acid as alternative treatment in 3β-hydroxy-Δ5-C
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2024. 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
Background: 3β-hydroxy-Δ5-C27-steroid-oxidoreductase (3β-HSD) deficiency is a bile acid synthesis disorder that leads to the absence of normal primary bile acids and the accumulation of abnormal bile acids. This results in cholestatic jaundice, fat-soluble vitamin deficiency, acholic or fatty stools and failure to thrive. Bile acid supplementation is used to treat 3β-HSD-deficiency and its symptoms. Methods: This report details the case of a 28-year-old woman diagnosed with 3β-HSD-deficiency, who was treated with glycine-conjugated deoxycholic acid (gDCA). Results: gDCA treatment successfully restored normal bile acid levels, improved body weight by reducing fat malabsorption, and was well-tolerated with no observed liver problems or side effects. Conclusions: As a potent FXR ligand, gDCA might exert its action through FXR activation leading to bile acid synthesis regulation.
