Article in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Rare diseases (RD) are those that have a low prevalence in the population; ≈80% have a genetic origin, and to diagnose them it takes from 5 to 10 years, and they require evaluations from ≈10 specialists. There is no international consensus on the definition and number of RDs, which affects the availability of resources for their diagnosis, treatment, and research. Objective: To determine the prevalence of RDs in the Medical Genetics Service of a regional general hospital belonging to the Mexican Institute for Social Security (IMSS), in Puebla, Mexico. Material and methods: The patients' records who were evaluated by the above-mentioned service from January 2019 to June 2022 were reviewed. Those patients with a diagnosis of a RD were identified, and the prevalence was obtained by using the formula: total number of cases of the disease/number of people in the population at that moment in time. Results: A total of 798 medical records were reviewed and a prevalence of RDs of 27% was obtained. Those diseases with a prevalence of 1 case per 2000 inhabitants were considered, being 118 different RD. Considering only the 20 rare diseases registered in Mexico in 2022, 11 of these were detected, distributed in 35 patients, with an estimated prevalence of 4.3%. Conclusion: The prevalence of RDs differs according to the criteria implemented. In Mexico, several diseases that fall within the definition of a RD based on their prevalence were not considered as such until 2022, so the recent recognition of rare diseases included by the World Health Organization will benefit affected patients.
