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

Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency is the most common enzyme deficiency of the urea cycle which converts toxic ammonia to urea for its excretion from the body. Symptoms due to the deficiency of the enzyme results in accumulation of ammonium and glutamine in the body. This manifests as vomiting, lethargy, cerebral oedema and coma. In affected male babies born with the metabolic disorder, there is severe neonatal hyperammonaemia. Due to the rarity of the metabolic disorder, diagnosis is delayed with fatal consequences for the newborn. We report here a case of recurrent neonatal deaths in an asymptomatic mother heterozygous for X-linked OTC gene mutation.
