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

backgroundCongenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a group of rare metabolic diseases with heterogeneous presentations, leading to substantial diagnostic challenges, which are poorly understood. Therefore, this study aims to elucidate this diagnostic journey by examining families' and professionals' experiences. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: A questionnaire was designed for CDG families and professionals, garnering 160 and 35 responses, respectively. Analysis revealed the lack of seizures as a distinctive feature between PMM2-CDG (11.2%) with Other CDG (57.7%) at symptom onset. Hypotonia and developmental disability were prevalent symptoms across all studied CDG. Feeding problems were identified as an early onset symptom in PMM2-CDG (Cramer's V (V) = 0.30, False Discovery Rate (FDR) = 3.8 × 10

conclusionThis study emphasizes the crucial role of community-centered research, and the insights families can offer to enhance CDG management. By pinpointing existing gaps and needs, our findings can inform targeted interventions and support systems to improve the lives of those impacted by CDG.
