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

Introduction: Newborn screening (NBS) programs for a defined set of eligible diseases have been enormously successful, but genomic NBS allowing for detection of additional treatable disorders has not been broadly implemented. All 3 types of primary hyperoxaluria (PH1-3) are rare autosomal recessive diseases caused by distinct defects of glyoxylate metabolism that are diagnosed genetically with certainty. Early diagnosis and treatment are mandatory to avoid renal failure or sequalae associated with persistent hyperoxaluria. Methods: This prospective pilot study was undertaken within the framework of the German NBS. DNA samples extracted from dried blood spot cards were screened by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the 2 most prevalent variants: Results: Between March 15, 2022 and June 30, 2023, additional screening for PH1 and PH3 was performed in 77,199 out of 222,638 newborns included in the regular NBS program. No homozygous individuals, but 274 potential carriers for the Conclusion: This pilot study demonstrates the efficacy of a genomic neonatal screening program for PH even in relatively small cohorts.
