Hereditary Folate Malabsorption Presenting With Pancytopenia in Two Siblings: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Hereditary folate malabsorption (HFM) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the SLC46A1 gene, leading to impaired intestinal and central nervous system folate transport. We present two male siblings with clinical features suggestive of HFM. The first infant exhibited pancytopenia, diarrhea, hypogammaglobulinemia, and neurological regression due to delayed diagnosis and treatment discontinuation, resulting in a fatal outcome. The second sibling was diagnosed early based on clinical suspicion and family history and showed favorable progress after timely parenteral folinic acid therapy. This report underscores the importance of early recognition, the limitations of genetic access in low-resource settings, and the critical role of parenteral folinic acid in preventing irreversible complications.
