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

Mutations in the NDUFV1 gene are associated with mitochondrial complex I deficiency and have been linked to various clinical conditions such as Leigh syndrome, severe infantile lactic acidosis, newborn cardiomyopathy, progressive leukoencephalopathy, and other encephalomyopathies. Genetic alterations revealed mitochondrial complex 1 deficiency, nuclear type 4 |AR: two compound heterozygous missense mutations in the NDUFV1 gene, c.640G < A (p.E214K) chr11:67377981 (Exon 1) and c.248C < T (p.S83L) chr11:67376115 (Exon 3) gene. Our case identifies a previously unknown pathogenic effect of the variant 'c.248C > T' in the NDUFV1 gene, observed in a 4-year-old boy with left-sided facial paralysis and balance impairment. While this discovery is significant, further exploration of NDUFV1 gene variants is essential for a comprehensive understanding and effective treatment strategies.
