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

Thiol groups are important components of proteins and their oxidation can lead to a substantial loss of protein function. Patients with two apparently unrelated inborn errors of metabolism, tyrosinaemia type 1 and glutathione synthetase deficiency, have been reported to show reduced cell glutathione concentrations. We have found that not only glutathione but also protein thiol concentrations are reduced in the liver in tyrosinaemia type 1 patients. We also report a case of glutathione synthetase deficiency with a substantial deficiency of liver 4-fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase and provide evidence that glutathione, or some small-molecular-weight thiol, is essential for maintaining stability of this enzyme in vitro. Our results suggest that the availability of thiol groups may modify the phenotype of tyrosinaemia type 1 and that liver 4-fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase deficiency may be a secondary complicating factor in some forms of glutathione synthetase deficiency.
