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

L-2 hydroxyglutaric aciduria (L-2-HGA) is a rare autosomal recessive progressive, organic aciduria which presents with a wide variety of clinical manifestations. Diagnosis is complex and necessitates an increase in clinical suspicion of the disease to obtain the necessary diagnostic tests and thus early administration of appropriate management. In this case series, we are reporting three cases of patients with L-2-HGA who presented with a variety of clinical manifestations. All patients presented with a constellation of symptoms including febrile seizures, hyperactivity and intellectual difficulties. One case had an unusual presentation of cervical dystonia in early adulthood. Another case had a homozygous variant,
