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

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (Hurler syndrome) is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA), and is characterized by widespread lysosomal glycosaminoglycan (GAG) accumulation. Successful treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases is limited by the presence of the blood-brain barrier, which prevents penetration of the therapeutic enzyme. Given that the brain capillary endothelial cells that form this barrier express high levels of the transferrin receptor (TfR), we hypothesized that the coupling of IDUA to transferrin (Tf) would facilitate IDUA delivery to the CNS. A plasmid bearing a fusion gene consisting of Tf and IDUA was constructed which, when delivered in vivo, resulted in the production of high levels of an enzymatically active protein that was transported into the CNS by TfR-mediated endocytosis. Short-term treatment resulted in a decrease in GAGs in the cerebellum of mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) mice. This approach, therefore, represents a potential strategy for the delivery of therapeutic enzyme to the CNS.
