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

Wilson disease is an inherited disorder characterized by copper accumulation in various organs, leading to a wide range of clinical manifestations depending on the deposition site. Typically, symptoms of Wilson disease emerge between the ages of 5 and 35 years, primarily presenting with neurological and hepatic symptoms. This case report describes a 12-year-old boy diagnosed with Wilson disease based on low serum ceruloplasmin levels and elevated 24-hour urinary copper levels. His initial presentation included acute encephalopathy and tubulopathy with persistent hypokalemia. This case highlights the importance of a thorough evaluation, including neurological and renal assessments, to determine the underlying cause of acute encephalopathy, such as Wilson disease. Furthermore, this case shows that Wilson disease can manifest with neurological and kidney presentations despite a normal hepatic evaluation.
