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

Peroxisome biogenesis disorders-Zellweger spectrum disorder (PBD-ZSD) is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the genes involved in peroxisome biogenesis. PBD-ZSD presentations vary in severity, and treatment of PBD-ZSD remains supportive focused on specific complications. A few reported cases of the use of liver transplantation to treat either neurological symptoms or liver dysfunction and cirrhosis in PBD-ZSD have been published. In this case report, we document the course of a 16-year-old boy diagnosed with PBD-ZSD and a delayed and unexpected neuropathy that developed after undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for which the indication was liver cirrhosis. Following OLT, the patient's gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and albumin normalized; however, he developed a polyneuropathy, the cause of which was investigated with conditions such as inflammatory neuropathies (Guillain Barré syndrome: GBS/chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy: CIDP), drug effect, or underlying complication of PBD-ZSD all considered possible. His neuropathic symptoms improved and therefore this case represents an exploration of an apparent delayed and resolving subacute neuropathy in PBD-ZSD after OLT.
