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

A deficiency of arylsulfatase A (ASA) results in the lysosomal lipid storage disease metachromatic leukodystrophy. The disease mainly affects the central nervous system causing a progressive demyelination. A therapeutic effect will depend on the delivery of the deficient enzyme to the central nervous system. We have transplanted ASA-deficient mice with bone marrow transduced with a retroviral vector expressing the human ASA cDNA. All transplanted animals initially showed high serum levels of human ASA. In 50% of the recipients high ASA serum levels were sustained for 12 months after transplantation. In the remaining mice, serum levels decreased rapidly to low or undetectable levels. ASA activity and immunoreactivity was detectable in all organs of animals with continuous levels of ASA in serum. Most notably, substantial amounts of ASA activity were transferred into the brain, reaching up to 33% of the normal tissue level. In contrast to peripheral organs, the amount of enzyme delivered to the brain did not correlate with ASA serum levels as an indicator of overexpression. This reveals that enzyme transfer to the brain is not due to endocytosis of serum ASA by endothelial cells, but rather to bone marrow-derived cells migrated into the brain. Gene Therapy (2000) 7, 1250-1257.
