Proximal myopathy in an untreated case of Wilson's disease - A case report.
Article in Hepatology forum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Wilson's disease (WD) is a genetic disease of autosomal recessive inheritance resulting in the mutation of the adenosine triphosphate 7B (ATP7B) gene. The estimated prevalence of WD is one in 30,000 to 100,000, with a wide age of presentation between 3 to 55 years. Initial manifestations of WD are mainly neurologic, hepatic, or a combination of both. Proximal myopathy, however, is a rare presenting feature, with only a limited number of cases described in the literature. Presenting features such as rhabdomyolysis, hypokalemic muscle paralysis, and spasmodic contractions have been documented, but, as per our knowledge, only one case of proximal myopathy as the initial complaint has been reported. The underlying mechanism of this phenomenon in untreated cases remains unclear and warrants further investigation. We report the case of a 9-year-old female who presented with difficulty in walking, difficulty standing from a sitting position, and jaundice, subsequently diagnosed as WD with proximal myopathy.
