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

Amino acid metabolic disorders (AAMs) are a group of inherited metabolic diseases caused by defects in enzymes or transporters involved in amino acid metabolism. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the incidence, disease spectrum, and regional distribution of AAMs in China. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and major Chinese databases identified studies published between January 2002 and December 2025. After rigorous screening and quality assessment, 65 studies were included, encompassing 16,757,850 newborns and 2928 confirmed AAM cases. The most prevalent subtypes included hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA), hypermethioninemia (MET), citrin deficiency (CD), citrullinemia type 1 (CTLN1), maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD), and tyrosinemia (HT). The pooled incidence of AAMs was estimated at 184.0 (95% confidence interval 155.0-218.0) per million newborns. Significant regional differences were observed in the overall incidence of AAMs, with a higher incidence in northern China than southern China (287.0 vs. 126.0 per million,
