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

Enzyme-replacement therapy is an established means of treating lysosomal storage diseases. Infused therapeutic enzymes are targeted to lysosomes of affected cells by interactions with cell-surface receptors that recognize carbohydrate moieties, such as mannose and mannose 6-phosphate, on the enzymes. We have tested an alternative, peptide-based targeting system for delivery of enzymes to lysosomes in a murine mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII) model. This strategy depends on the interaction of a fragment of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II), with the IGF-II binding site on the bifunctional, IGF-II cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor. A chimeric protein containing a portion of mature human IGF-II fused to the C terminus of human beta-glucuronidase was taken up by MPS VII fibroblasts in a mannose 6-phosphate-independent manner, and its uptake was inhibited by the addition of IGF-II. Furthermore, the tagged enzyme was delivered effectively to clinically significant tissues in MPS VII mice and was effective in reversing the storage pathology. The tagged enzyme was able to reduce storage in glomerular podocytes and osteoblasts at a dose at which untagged enzyme was much less effective. This peptide-based, glycosylation-independent lysosomal targeting system may enhance enzyme-replacement therapy for certain human lysosomal storage diseases.
