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

Citrin deficiency (CD) is a complex mitochondrial disease with three different age-related stages: neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by CD (NICCD), failure to thrive and dyslipidemia caused by CD (FTTDCD), and type II citrullinemia (CTLN2), recently renamed adolescent and adult CD (AACD). While highly prevalent in the Asian population, CD is pan-ethnic and remains severely underdiagnosed. The disease is caused by the dysfunction or absence of the mitochondrial aspartate/glutamate carrier 2 (AGC2/SLC25A13), also known as citrin. Citrin deficiency results in a direct impairment of the malate-aspartate shuttle and the urea cycle, with expected knock-on effects on a multitude of other metabolic pathways, leading to a complicated pathophysiology. Here, we discuss our current knowledge of the molecular mechanism of substrate transport by citrin, including recent advances  suggesting against its calcium regulation. We also discuss the different types of pathogenic variants found in CD patients and new insights into their pathogenic mechanisms. Additionally, we provide a summary and assessment of the efforts to develop preclinical models as well as treatments for the disease.
