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

Hurler syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type I, MPS IH) is characterized by a deficiency of alpha-L-iduronidase resulting in progressive multiorgan dysfunction. We sought to determine whether enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with iduronidase in the peritransplant period affects outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for MPS IH. Seven children with MPS IH at a median age of 1.5 years at the time of myeloablative HSCT were eligible. All patients had null mutations in IDUA gene. Iduronidase (0.58 mg/kg per dose) was administered intravenously in 11-14 weekly doses before HSCT and 8 weekly doses after HSCT. The infusions were well tolerated. All patients developed antibodies to iduronidase but all engrafted with >90% donor hematopoiesis. A majority of patients had significant pulmonary complications before ERT and HSCT but all are alive and well with a median follow-up of more than 1 year after HSCT. This suggests that ERT prior to HSCT is unlikely to alter engraftment. In addition, morbidity was acceptable, despite a previous history of pulmonary difficulties that suggested that these patients were high risk for these complications. Therefore, we recommend treatment of MPS IH patients with combination of ERT and HSCT therapy to further investigate its potential to enhance outcomes with HSCT.
