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

This study presents the first reported case of a Korean patient with Alpha-1,3-Mannosyltransferase-Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (ALG3-CDG), characterized by a novel maternally inherited missense mutation and a previously reported paternally inherited nonsense mutation. The patient exhibited typical ALG3-CDG manifestations, including developmental delays, epilepsy, and multisystem involvement, alongside a diagnosis of Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS). Cannabidiol therapy, combined with dietary management, led to seizure freedom for over 13 months, significant EEG improvement, and enhanced developmental outcomes. This case underscores the potential of cannabidiol as a promising treatment strategy for patients with ALG3-CDG and refractory epilepsy, broadening therapeutic perspectives for this rare disorder.
