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

Purpose: The aim of this study was to present a case of early-onset mevalonic aciduria (MA) in a neonate and summarize the relevant phenotypic and genotypic spectra of MA. Methods and results: We describe a neonate who presented with elevated inflammatory marker after birth. Liver function tests revealed liver injury, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) confirmed increased mevalonic acid levels in blood and urine. Whole-genome sequencing identified a novel homozygous mutation (c.928G>A, p.Val310Met) in the Conclusion: We report one of the youngest neonates with early-onset MA diagnosed promptly, caused by the novel homozygous
