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

Triple A syndrome (OMIM #231550) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder defined by the triad of alacrima, adrenal insufficiency, and achalasia. Around 100 to 150 cases have been reported in the world literature since 1978. We report the first case diagnosed in French Guiana, in a 5-year-old boy who presented with severe hypoglycemic episodes. Exome sequencing identified a homozygous pathogenic variant in the AAAS gene (NM_015665.6:c.43C > A, p.Gln15Lys - ACMG Class 5). Family testing confirmed heterozygous carrier status in both parents, while the younger brother was found to be homozygous wild-type and unaffected. The clinical course under hydrocortisone replacement has been favorable. A literature review and comparative analysis are presented to place this case in context and to highlight the phenotypic and molecular variability of the syndrome.
