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

Fabry disease is a systemic disease caused by genetic deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme, alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-gal A), and is thought to be an important target for enzyme replacement therapy. We studied the feasibility of gene-mediated enzyme replacement for Fabry disease. The adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector containing the alpha-gal A gene was injected into the right quadriceps muscles of Fabry knockout mice. A time course study showed that alpha-gal A activity in plasma was increased to approximately 25% of normal mice and that this elevated activity persisted for up to at least 30 weeks without development of anti-alpha-gal A antibodies. The alpha-gal A activity in various organs of treated Fabry mice remained 5-20% of those observed in normal mice. Accumulated globotriaosylceramide in these organs was completely cleared by 25 weeks after vector injection. Reduction of globotriaosylceramide levels was also confirmed by immunohistochemical and electronmicroscopic analyses. Echocardiographic examination of treated mice demonstrated structural improvement of cardiac hypertrophy 25 weeks after the treatment. AAV vector-mediated muscle-directed gene transfer provides an efficient and practical therapeutic approach for Fabry disease.
