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

Congenital biotinidase deficiency (CBD) is an uncommon inborn error of metabolism (IEM) that frequently manifests in infancy. Clinical manifestations vary from alopecia rash to severe neurological features like hypotonia, seizures, and developmental delay. Typical imaging manifestations will have symmetric restricted diffusion in the corona radiata, perirolandic white matter, posterior limb of the internal capsule (PLIC), parieto-occipital grey matter, brainstem, middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP), and splenium of the corpus callosum. Early diagnosis is essential because early treatment may reduce or prevent the severity of this disease. Herein, we report a case of CBD presented with breathlessness, alopecia, and hearing loss with typical imaging features, reversed with biotin supplementation in a six-year-old male child.
