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

Transient infantile hypertriglyceridemia is one of the diseases that should be considered in case of unexplained elevated liver enzymes, hypertriglyceridemia and hepatosteatosis. We report 2 siblings with novel homozygous variants in the GPD1 gene with transient infantile hypertriglyceridemia. Two siblings born from consanguineous marriage were referred due to hepatomegaly, elevated transaminases and fatty liver. After excluding other possible causes of fatty liver and elevated transaminase levels; whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on genomic DNA isolated from the peripheral blood samples of both patients. Whole exome sequencing revealed the identification of a novel homozygous variant, c.628 G > C:p.G210R, in GPD1. Our report underscores the importance of genome sequencing in diagnosing unexplained childhood fatty liver disease and/or elevated enzyme levels. In patients with transient infantile hypertriglyceridemia, investigation into novel homozygous variants in the GPD1 gene should be conducted using whole exome sequencing.
