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

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inborn error of metabolism leading to phenylalanine (Phe) accumulation and consequent neurological, neurocognitive, and psychiatric symptoms. Pegvaliase, a pegylated recombinant phenylalanine ammonia lyase that metabolizes Phe, effectively reduced blood Phe in phase III studies in the United States. This multicenter, open-label, phase III study (jRCT2080224573) evaluated efficacy and safety of up to 4 years of pegvaliase treatment in 12 adult Japanese participants with PKU (blood Phe > 600 μmol/L). Subcutaneous pegvaliase followed an induction/titration/maintenance dosing regimen up to a maximum of 60 mg/day. After Week 52, diet and pegvaliase dose could be adjusted if blood Phe was ≤ 360 μmol/L. Mean (standard deviation [SD]) treatment duration was 166.4 (66.5) weeks. At Week 192 (
