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

Isovaleric acidemia (IVA, OMIM 243500) is an inherited disorder of leucine metabolism caused by a deficiency of isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase (IVD), leading to an accumulation of isovaleric acid and its derivates 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid, isovaleryl (C5)-carnitine and isovalerylglycine in body fluids. The clinical presentation is highly variable, ranging from life-threatening metabolic crises with metabolic acidosis and hyperammonemia to a clinically asymptomatic only biochemical phenotype. Newborn screening for IVA has been established in many countries. Treatment consists of a protein-restricted diet combined with supplementation of carnitine and/or glycine and emergency treatment in catabolic episodes. Still, evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of IVA patients with various phenotypes are lacking. Therefore, a systematic search and review of the literature was conducted to make suggestions for the care of patients with IVA based on both the available scientific evidence and consensus-derived expert conclusions. Based on a comprehensive set of literature data published between 1966 and 2024, 15 statements were phrased on the presentation, diagnosis, management, and outcome of IVA involving clinical, biochemical, and nutrition expertise. These statements can serve as a basis for more standardized care for IVA.
