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

Phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2) catalyzes the interconversion of mannose-6-phosphate and mannose-1-phosphate, a key step in the biosynthesis of GDP-mannose for N-glycosylation. Its deficiency is the most common cause of congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs), accounting for the subtype known as PMM2-CDG. PMM2-CDG is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by multisystemic dysfunction, including cerebellar atrophy, peripheral neuropathy, developmental delay, and coagulation abnormalities. The disease is associated with a spectrum of pathogenic missense mutations, particularly at residues involved in dimerization and catalytic function (i.e., p.Phe119Leu and p.Arg141His). The dimerization of PMM2 is considered essential for enzymatic activity, although it remains unclear whether this supports structural stability alone, or whether both subunits are catalytically active-a distinction that may affect how mutations in each monomer contribute to overall enzyme function and disease phenotype. PMM2 has a paralog, phosphomannomutase 1 (PMM1), which shares substantial structural similarity-including obligate dimerization-and displays mutase activity
