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

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare, pan ethnic X-linked disorder. We explored ethnic representation in our service and a national patient organisation. An audit of the University Hospitals Birmingham FD cohort revealed that 9 % of index cases are minority ethnic, compared to 18.3 % of the population of England and Wales and 51.4 % of the Birmingham population. A similar split was observed in a national patient cohort, highlighting a need to identify the reasons for under-representation.
