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

Methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) is described by high methylmalonic acid concentrations in the blood and urine. This condition can be isolated or in combination with homocystinuria. While variants in the MMUT, MMAA, MMAB, MMADHC and MCEE genes contribute to the pathogenesis of the isolated form, variants in MMACHC, MMADHC, LMBRD1, and ABCD4 genes, are responsible for diverse types of combined MMA and homocystinuria. In the current study, we report molecular tests of 15 Iranian patients who had mutations in MMA-related genes. Among the assessed patients, MMACHC gene was the most prevalently mutated gene (mutated in 7 patients). Each of MMAA, MMAB, and MMUT genes were mutated in 2 patients, respectively. Finally, we detected variants in each of ACSF3 and ABCD4 genes in one case, respectively. Among the identified variants, five variants were not reported before. Cumulatively, the current study provides some data about MMA-related variants among Iranian patients.
